Knäck: Christmas Butterscotch
Knäck is a popular Swedish Christmas candy that is very similar to butterscotch or toffee. They are almost always made in little paper cups.
Ingredients
- 180 g sugar
- 200 g cream
- 280 g golden syrup
- 50 g skinless almonds finely chopped
- 2 g salt
Instructions
- Combine the sugar, cream, and golden syrup in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent sticking and continue cooking until it reaches 127°C (260°F).
- As soon as it comes to temperature, turn off the heat and quickly add the salt and chopped almonds. Combine thoroughly.
- Using a heat-proof pitcher, sauce gun, or candy funnel immediately pour the mixture into small paper cups.
- Allow the knäck to crystallize and set for 24 hours before enjoying.
