  • Add the candy thermometer on the side of the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the bottom of the pan.
  • Raise the heat to medium high stirring often until the temperature reaches 225 F. Once it reaches 225 stir the toffee constantly.

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to the edges.
  • Let the toffee sit for about 3 to 4 minutes, then run a plastic knife, or pizza cutter over the toffee cutting it into 3x3 or 4x4 inch squares. Go over the cut lines a few times to create marks in the toffee. (It doesn't need to be fully cut through, but needs to be scored so the toffee will break easily on the lines.
  • Let the toffee sit until it is set. You can place the pan in the fridge to speed this process up. Then separate the toffee into square pieces.
  • Melt the White Chocolate Wafers in the microwave in 30 second increments, until you can stir it smooth. 25 oz Ghiradelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers
