What it means
- The base of toffee is caramelized sugar and butter, so almost any complementary flavor - nuts, spices, spirits, coffee - can be folded in or coated on.
- Nut toffees (almond, pecan, hazelnut, macadamia) and chocolate coatings are the most widespread commercial variations.
- Warm spices, coffee, sea salt, maple, and fruit or liqueur infusions are common ways makers move past plain vanilla.
