Churro Toffee Ingredients
*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Butter: You will need 4 sticks or 2 cups of butter. I like to use salted butter because I like the flavor, but unsalted butter can be used as well. If using unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the toffee after removing from the heat.
- Sugar: Two cups of white sugar is needed for this recipe. I prefer to use cane sugar, but any white granulated sugar will work.
- White Chocolate: Four cups of white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate is needed for the topping. I like to use 2 bags of Ghirardelli Melting Wafers because they melt smoothly and have great flavor. You can also use milk chocolate chips if preferred.
- Vanilla Extract: Two teaspoons of vanilla extract adds a delicious flavor to the toffee.
- Cinnamon Sugar: One tablespoon of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of sugar are needed for sprinkling over the white chocolate on top of the toffee. You can also use store-bought cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Christmas Sprinkles (Optional): For a festive holiday treat, add some Christmas sprinkles to the top of the toffee!
How to Make Disneyland Churro Toffee (Step-By-Step Instructions)
[Step 1] Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and line the dish with a sheet of parchment paper, letting it hang over the sides of the dish for easy removal.
[Step 2] Add the butter and sugar to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over medium-high heat. Stir constantly, for about 5 minutes, until the butter is melted.
[Step 3] When the butter has completely melted, bring the sugar mixture to a boil. Allow the toffee mixture to boil until a candy thermometer reaches 285 degrees F. Be patient, as this process may take up to 30 minutes.
[Step 4] Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour mixture into the prepared pan, making sure to scrape the sides of the pan to get all of the mixture out.
[Step 5] Allow the candy mixture to sit for 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle the white chocolate over the top. Cover with nonstick aluminum foil for 5 minutes, then remove and use a spatula to spread the white melted chocolate chips over the toffee in a thin, even layer.
[Step 6] Combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the white chocolate.
[Step 7] Place toffee in the refrigerator until set, about 1-2 hours.
[Step 8] Use the parchment paper to lift the hardened toffee out of the baking dish. Break into Disneyland-sized pieces or smaller pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.
