How to Make Churro Toffee
- First, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until butter and sugar are dissolved together, then bring to a rolling boil.
- Cook and stir until the mixture turns a caramel brown and reaches the crack stage. For best results, use a candy thermometer and pull it off the heat when it is between 280-300 degrees.
- Pour toffee onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Use a spatula and spread it evenly over the sheet.
For toffee squares just like Disneyland:
- While the toffee is still hot, start cutting out the squares with a metal or plastic spatula. You can also use a bench scraper. Go over the lines 4-5 times or until the toffee holds the square shape. Place in the fridge and let chill for at least 20 minutes.
- While the toffee is chilling, make the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Melt the white chocolate candy melts in the microwave in 30 second increments. Stir thoroughly between each increment.
- Dip each square fully in the candy melts. Place on parchment paper and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while the chocolate is still wet. Once all the pieces are dipped, let them chill in the fridge for at least 40 minutes.
Easy Churro Toffee Hack
Instead of cutting and dipping each piece in white chocolate, you can pour the melted white chocolate over the whole tray of toffee mixture and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar. When it sets, break it up into pieces. It won’t be in perfect squares, more like imperfect jagged pieces, but it will taste the same, and you’ll have saved yourself a lot of time and effort!

Notes
- For extra crunch, spread a layer of chopped almonds or peanuts over the baking sheet before pouring the toffee.
- I like to use the Ghirardelli white candy melts for the best flavor. They are sold at most grocery stores.
- Have your parchment paper lined baking sheet ready so you can move quickly once the toffee is at the correct temperature.
