This Disneyland copycat Churro Toffee recipe combines the buttery crunch of classic toffee with a cinnamon-sugar coating and a creamy white chocolate topping, delivering a sweet treat reminiscent of churros in a convenient candy form.

Ingredients

Toffee Base

  • 1 cup butter (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients and Equipment: Measure and set out all ingredients before starting. Lay out a baking sheet, cookie sheet, or jelly roll pan for the toffee to be poured on. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon and set this cinnamon sugar mixture aside for the topping.
  2. Melt Toffee Ingredients: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan (minimum 2-quart capacity), combine the 1 cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Place over medium heat and stir frequently until the butter fully melts and combines with the sugar and salt into a uniform mixture.
  3. Cook Toffee to Desired Color: Once melted, increase heat to medium-high and continue stirring constantly for 10-15 minutes. The mixture will thicken and change color to a rich golden brown reminiscent of raw almonds. This color indicates the toffee has cooked properly and developed its characteristic flavor. Be vigilant to avoid burning during this process.
  4. Pour Toffee onto Baking Sheet: Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly if needed. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes to begin solidifying but remain warm enough to melt the chocolate chips.
  5. Add and Spread Chocolate: Sprinkle the 2 cups of white chocolate chips evenly over the toffee. Let them sit for a couple of minutes to soften and melt. Then use the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula to spread the melted white chocolate into a smooth, even layer over the toffee.
  6. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Generously sprinkle the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture over the melted chocolate layer. Allow the entire toffee to cool completely, either at room temperature or by placing the pan in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.
  7. Break and Store: Once fully cooled and set, use a butter knife to break the toffee into pieces. Store the pieces in an airtight container at room temperature for freshness.

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottom saucepan to prevent hot spots and burning during toffee cooking.
  • Constant stirring is essential for even cooking and avoiding burning.
  • Cooling time may be accelerated by refrigerating, but avoid moisture condensation.
  • Store toffee in a cool, dry place to maintain its crisp texture.
  • For a different chocolate flavor, dark or milk chocolate chips can be substituted, though white chocolate gives the classic churro appearance.
