As promised the Treacle Toffee recipe

Treacle Toffee

4oz Golden Syrup
4oz Black Treacle
8 Tablespoons water
2oz butter
1lb Soft Brown Sugar
One teaspoon vinegar

Brush an 8 x 6 inch tine with melted butter.

Pour syrup, treacle and water into a heavy based deep pan. Add butter, sugar and vinegar. Stir until butter and sugar have melted.

Bring to boil. Cover for 30 seconds as this helps to prevent crystallization. Uncover. Increase heat slightly.

Boil toffee fairly briskly, uncovered, for about 12 to 18 minutes or until a little of the mixture forms hard threads which are flexible. To do this pour a little of the boiling mixture into a cup of cold water. If it forms hard threads, which bend without snapping, then the mixture has cooked for long enough. On sugar thermometer the temperature should be 280F or 138C.

Remove from heat and pour into prepared tin and leave until set. Tip out on to a board and break into pieces with a small hammer.

When I was a child there was a little shop at the end of our street that made homemade treacle toffee and they sold is mixed with lemonade powder. We used to buy extra lemonade powder and scoop it up with the toffee.
