In America, English toffee usually refers to a candy made with slow-cooked sugar and butter, forming a brittle, which is then coated in chocolate and nuts.

Toffee vs Butterscotch

While butterscotch is cooked to a soft-crack stage, toffee is produced by allowing that same butter and brown sugar mixture to reach the hard-crack stage. Butterscotch tends to be chewy and pliable; toffee is brittle and more breakable.

The difference between caramel and toffee is greater, as caramel has a more liquid consistency and is usually pure sugar (it doesn't contain butter or flour). Still, the taste of caramel, fudge, and toffee is relatively similar, as they are all made from mostly sugar (as well as butter in the case of fudge and toffee).

The English toffee eaten with regularity in America is also called buttercrunch. What's the difference? Primarily, the difference rests in the ingredients. Toffee in Britain is made with brown sugar, whereas buttercrunch is made with white granulated sugar.

If you compare their recipes, the stark difference between toffees and brittles is their butter and/or milk content. Ingredients in toffees are also cooked together while brittles' ingredients are not. The sugar and water of a brittle are first cooked in the oven usually at 300 degrees Fahrenheit to a hard crack stage.

Once opened, they should be consumed within 2-3 months for best quality. However, they can also be frozen for up to a year, extending their usability. How do you tell if toffee bits is bad? While toffee bits don't spoil in the same way some foods do, they can become stale or lose their quality over time.

Americanized toffee may include nuts, while a completely traditional British toffee will not. On the other hand, English toffee uses pure cane sugar, brown sugar, or molasses as its sweet base and always involves chocolate.
