Set aside.<\/span>\n                <\/li>\n                                <li itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/HowToStep\">\n                    <span class=\"step\">Step 2<\/span>\n                    <span itemprop=\"text\">Prepare a clean baking sheet to spread your hot toffee mixture later.<\/span>\n                <\/li>\n                                <li itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/HowToStep\">\n                    <span class=\"step\">Step 3<\/span>\n                    <span itemprop=\"text\">Melt the butter in a thick pan while constantly stirring with a fork. Il you use a candy thermometer, the ideal temperature should be 148\u00b0. If not medium heat is perfect.<\/span>\n                <\/li>\n                                <li itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/HowToStep\">\n                    <span class=\"step\">Step 4<\/span>\n                    <span itemprop=\"text\">When the butter is fully melted, add the sugar while stirring. Slightly increase the temperature as soon as the mixture starts boiling. Keep stirring until it turns to a light amber colour. Be careful because it will turn brown very quickly. If too dark, it means that it\u2019s burnt and your toffee will be bitter. <\/span>\n                <\/li>\n                                <li itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/HowToStep\">\n                    <span class=\"step\">Step 5<\/span>\n                    <span itemprop=\"text\">Pour the toffee on the clean baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula. When it\u2019s done, put the chocolate pieces on top of it and let them sit until they soften for about one to two minutes. Use the spatula to spread the chocolate into a thin layer and finely sprinkle the nuts on top of it. <\/span>\n                <\/li>\n                                <li itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/HowToStep\">\n                    <span class=\"step\">Step 6<\/span>\n                    <span itemprop=\"text\">Cool down your toffee for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator, then brake into chunks and pieces and store in a tight container to keep away from humidity and heat.<\/span>\n                <\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Barbara\u2019s very own special recipe for Christmas Toffee.
