Maple Toffee
With Thanksgiving less than a week away (for us Canadian folks) I thought I would whip up a batch of Maple Toffee to take with me to the two Thanksgiving dinners I will be a guest at. Well, truth be told, one the dinners will be held at my sister’s house, but I’ll be doing most of the cooking so I guess I’m not really a guest. Either way, it’s nice to show up with a sweet treat. People like candy. This is a really easy recipe. And if you pop the candy in a mason jar and top it with birch bark and ribbon you look like you spent days on it.
Here is the recipe if you’re interested in making it yourself. This is a recipe I’ve had in my collection for a few years. It’s a modified fudge recipe. I’m not sure of the original source because I copied it down on a recipe card – obviously before the dawn of Pinterest.
Maple Toffee
3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
6 tbs. butter
4 tbs. 5% cream
1 tbs. pure vanilla
1 tbs. maple extract
1 pinch salt
Directions: In a large saucepan combine all ingredients. Heat, stirring constantly until the mixture has turned to liquid. Pour in to a greased 9×5 baking dish. Refrigerate until hardened. Break into pieces.
That’s it! Super fast and easy! Your dentist might not approve of this recipe, but your taste buds will!
YUM! YUM! YUM! That looks so good & I love the way you dressed them up in the mason jars. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Thanks Melanie!!!

It looks yummy! I never made toffee before; now I have a recipe to use.
I’m in Canada too – can’t wait for this upcoming long weekend! Have a great one.
This looks amazing. I’m a total sucker for toffee!
Happy Thanksgiving Antonella! Enjoy your long weekend!
Michelle – it’s pretty darn good! Although it never really gets chewy, it basically stays hard until it dissolves.

That looks soooo good…and of course, your photography is spot on, like usual! Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the Canadians!
I can’t wait for ours to roll around!!
Oh yum! This looks delicious!
That looks so good; and how cute is it in the mason jar?!
YUMMY! I will be making this on Saturday, bet there isn’t any by the end of the day.
Just found your site…it is great, always fabulous to find another Canadian blog.
Hey Cathy! Thanks so much for dropping in on us! Let me know how the toffee goes over!

This maybe a really stupid question but what is 5% cream? Whipping cream?
Hey Vikki!
Thanks so much for popping over. Welcome! 5% cream is a light coffee cream. In all honesty, you could probably use 10% if that is all you could find. I hope that helps! Let me know how it turns out if you end up making it.
