Questions about Butterscotch candy
How do you make butterscotch candy at home?
Cook brown sugar, butter and a little water, stirring until the sugar dissolves; then boil without stirring to 149–154 °C, the hard-crack stage. Pour onto a greased heatproof tray and leave it to set before breaking it into pieces.
How should you store butterscotch candy?
Keep it in an airtight tin or jar in a cool, dry place. Moisture makes hard candy sticky, so avoid the fridge and keep it away from steam.
Can you melt butterscotch candy into a sauce?
Yes. Crush it first, then warm it gently with a splash of cream, stirring until smooth; avoid high heat, which can scorch the sugar. Use the sauce over ice cream, pancakes or baked apples.
What can you use instead of butterscotch candy?
For a similar buttery, browned-sugar flavour in baking, use chopped toffee or caramel candy. For a topping, butterscotch or caramel sauce is easier to drizzle than crushed sweets.
What goes well with butterscotch candy?
Its buttery sweetness pairs well with apples, pears, chocolate and coffee. Crush it over ice cream or fold small pieces into biscuit dough, brownies or a crumble topping.
Is hard butterscotch candy safe for young children?
Hard sweets can cause choking, so don’t give them to young children. Let older children eat them seated and supervised, rather than running or playing with a sweet in their mouth.
