Once I was sent a tin of toffee as an end-of-year gift from the US office of an American company I worked for. It was thin and nutty and outlandishly delicious. So good, in fact, my colleagues and I polished off most of the tin before I left the office that day. Here’s my version of that very almond toffee, pimped out with green pistachios and a little silver sparkle. I’ve also added a thin base of the finest milk chocolate (use dark, if you prefer), just to make each bite extra special. To give as gifts, simply snap into shards and place in cellophane bags. You will need a candy or kitchen thermometer that measures up to 140°C for this recipe. Photograph by Jani Shepherd and styling by Fiona Hugues – Gatherum Collectif.
