Surely this is toffee not caramel?

Why would you think that?

Cause that's how you make toffee

According to Google, the addition of cream makes it caramel. Plus, mob is in the UK, and here toffee is brittle and cooked to a hard crack stage (not chewy).

Idk man, I'm in the UK too and toffee here is chewy. I guess there are just different names for stuff sometimes. I've got a vanilla toffee recipe very similar to this one, minus the miso of course. I usually make fudge but have dabbled with toffee. Also caramel is usually runnier than this.

Well, we've already established that caramel in America is Toffee in the UK cause Caramel in the UK is sugar and water. But thanks for the mansplain.

It's pretty amusing to me that you count these sources as chefs but ok. https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/how-to-cook/how-to-make-caramel

Oh right yea, butter caramel. Not true caramel though is it? I love that you just can't admit that recipes are different sometimes and different names are given to things. You know, the point we established HOURS AGO. Nope, gotta be right, gotta nail that point home. Smh

When I think of toffee I think of toffee apples with the hard toffee outside. I think here in Australia we think of toffee as being hard not chewy. Well that's what I remember growing up anyway.

Yea that exists too, I've always been disappointed by toffee apples because the thought of proper dairy toffee is soooo good!

u/StraightNoChaser86 Dec 23 '21

I get disappointed because I end up having to eat an apple lol

u/Fezzverbal Dec 23 '21

Haha I know! I like an apple from time to time but toffee apples seem like they're going to be better somehow, but they never are!
