Toffee is a type of confectionery made by caramelizing sugar or molasses along with butter. The mixture is heated until it reaches a hard, brittle consistency, which gives toffee its characteristic crunch. It can be flavored with various ingredients, such as vanilla or chocolate, and is often enjoyed as a sweet treat or used as a topping for desserts. Toffee can come in different varieties, including English toffee, which is typically made with almonds, and butter toffee, known for its rich buttery flavor. It is commonly found in candy shops and is a popular ingredient in many desserts, such as cookies and ice cream.
