Disneyland Copycat Churro Toffee Recipe

Introduction

Enjoy the irresistible crunch and sweet cinnamon flavor of these Disneyland Copycat Churro Toffee treats. This recipe combines buttery toffee with a white chocolate and cinnamon sugar coating, creating a delightful snack that’s perfect for sharing or satisfying your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups white melting wafers or candy chocolate
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Step 2: In a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until the butter and sugar have melted together.
3. Step 3: Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue stirring as the mixture cooks. Allow it to boil until it reaches 300°F, which should take about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat immediately when the temperature is reached and pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Step 4: Let the toffee cool for 5 minutes. Using a large kitchen knife, cut the soft toffee into squares, going over the lines multiple times to prevent it from melting back together. Let it cool completely, or place it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
5. Step 5: Once cooled, break the toffee into individual pieces.
6. Step 6: Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. In a separate dish, combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar to create the churro coating.
7. Step 7: Dip each toffee piece into the melted white chocolate, shaking off any excess. Immediately coat the chocolate-covered toffee in the cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place the finished pieces on a clean piece of parchment paper.
8. Step 8: Allow the chocolate to set for about 40 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use a low and slow heat method to prevent burning the toffee and achieve a smooth texture.
• Melt white chocolate gently using a double boiler to avoid scorching.
• For a different twist, try dipping the toffee in dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon sugar for a subtle spicy kick.

Storage

Store churro toffee pieces in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them crisp longer, separate layers with parchment paper. If refrigerated, allow the toffee to come to room temperature before serving to avoid condensation. Avoid freezing as it may affect the texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate instead of white melting wafers?

Yes, you can substitute white melting wafers with regular white chocolate or even milk or dark chocolate, but be sure to melt it gently and check for smoothness before dipping.

What is the best way to prevent the toffee from sticking while cutting?

Wait a few minutes for the toffee to cool slightly but remain soft, then score the surface multiple times with a sharp knife. Cooling it completely in the fridge before breaking helps keep pieces separate without sticking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Toffee Base

• 2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Chocolate Coating

• 4 cups white melting wafers or candy chocolate

Instructions

1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to cool the toffee on.
2. Melt Ingredients: In a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the butter and sugar dissolve and form a smooth mixture.
3. Cook Toffee: Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to boil gently until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage), which takes about 10-15 minutes. Be patient and keep the heat controlled to avoid burning.
4. Pour Toffee: Once the temperature is reached, immediately turn off the heat and pour the hot toffee mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Cut Toffee: Let the toffee cool for 5 minutes to slightly set; then use a large kitchen knife to score it into squares. Press down multiple times along the score lines to prevent the toffee from sticking back together. Allow it to cool completely, or place the tray in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed this up.
6. Break Toffee: After fully cooled, break the toffee into individual pieces along the scored lines.
7. Melt Chocolate and Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package instructions. In a separate dish, mix together the ½ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon to create the churro topping.
8. Coat Toffee: Dip each toffee piece into the melted white chocolate, shaking off excess chocolate. Then immediately roll or coat the piece thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture, sprinkling additional cinnamon sugar over the top for extra flavor and coverage. Place coated pieces on a clean parchment-lined surface.
9. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 40 minutes or until firm. Once set, the churro toffee is ready to enjoy or package for gifting.

Notes

• Use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature to achieve perfect hard crack toffee.
• Be patient while cooking the toffee over low heat to avoid burning and ensure a smooth texture.
• Cut the toffee while warm for easier scoring, but allow it to fully cool before coating.
• Melt the white chocolate gently to prevent it from seizing.
• Store the finished churro toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
