Kitchen Friend Christie Vanover shared this recipe with us and gave us these helpful hints: “Toffee bits are so easy to make from scratch, and they taste so much better than the store bought bag ‘o bits. Use them in cookies, in muffins or on ice cream.”

Oh! My! Goodness!! Thanks so much for this recipe!
Is it possible to make toffee bits in the microwave?
Hi Grace! We wouldn’t recommend trying this recipe in the microwave because you aren’t able to watch as closely as you can on the stove and you need to bring it up to a fairly high heat, which could be less safe in a microwave.
I don’t own a silpat, can I use parchment paper or foil? Thanks!!
Yes, though parchment may be better than foil to reduce the chances that the toffee will stick.
