Description

Macintosh Toffee Bars are an irresistible candy characterized by their soft and creamy texture, combined with a sweet and buttery flavor that melts in your mouth. This ingredient is ideal for incorporating into desserts, homemade sweets, and recipes that require a sweet and caramelized touch, such as ice creams, pies, and assorted pastries.

Toffee has its origins in the United Kingdom, with Macintosh Toffee being a traditional version that stands out for its delicacy and its balanced sweet and buttery flavor. Traditionally, it is made with sugar, butter, and milk or cream, slowly cooked to achieve that soft and creamy texture that defines Macintosh toffee bars.

Regarding their properties, in addition to providing an intensely sweet and creamy flavor, toffee bars are a quick source of energy due to their sugar content. However, given their high calorie and sugar content, it is recommended to consume them in moderation.

In different regions of Latin America, this ingredient can be found under various synonyms such as dulce de leche toffee bars, soft caramel bars, or simply toffee, although the designation "Macintosh toffee" is recognized in specialized baking circles.
