Inspired by the popular churro flavor, this sweet treat layers buttery, caramelized toffee with the warm spice of cinnamon, perfect for a festive dessert or gift.

Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped

Chocolate Topping

  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet and almonds: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the chopped roasted almonds evenly over the parchment to create a solid nutty base.
  2. Combine toffee ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, corn syrup, and fine sea salt, starting the toffee base.
  3. Heat mixture: Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the butter melts completely and sugar granules dissolve, ensuring an even mixture.
  4. Monitor temperature: Attach a candy thermometer and continue cooking while stirring carefully until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) indicating perfect toffee consistency.
  5. Add vanilla extract: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor without overheating.
  6. Pour toffee over almonds: Immediately pour the hot toffee evenly over the almonds on the baking sheet. Use a heat-safe spatula to spread into a uniform layer.
  7. Cool the toffee: Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes until it is completely firm and set.
  8. Melt white chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate melting wafers until smooth, using a microwave or double boiler method to avoid burning.
  9. Spread the chocolate: Evenly spread the melted white chocolate over the cooled toffee layer, creating a smooth chocolate coating.
  10. Prepare cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar with ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly for an aromatic topping.
  11. Add cinnamon sugar topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the still-soft white chocolate. Gently press it in to ensure it adheres well to the surface.
  12. Set and serve: Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the fridge. Once hardened, cut into squares or break into pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning the sugar mixture.
  • Monitor the candy thermometer closely to avoid overcooking or undercooking the toffee.
  • Chill the finished toffee in the refrigerator to speed up setting if desired, but room temperature setting is sufficient.
  • Store churro toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • For a nut-free version, omit almonds and increase toffee thickness or substitute with seeds.
