Y'notice how in processes that involve 50 pound mixers, they no problem telling us "165 degress Celsius" and "35 pounds of flour", but in *this* -- where it's small enough to make at home -- it's "secret ingredients" and "a top-secret target temperature"? :-)

[@MyVanir]

Can't have you making it by yourself instead of buying it.

[@MrWnw]

Yes, it's a pitty. But you know, they would lost some income, if people started making it at home. Which you can still do btw.

[@SomeOne-vf1rs]

MrWnw You can make bread, pasta, stocks, grind or grate or chop your own spices, make your own food, but people still buy premade stuff due to any combination of convenience, lack of cooking skill, or indifference towards the quality of what they’re eating.

[@theothermagneticaesthetic]

In all fairness it's called "How It's Made" not "How to Make it"

[@Ifinishedyoutube]

Before I watched this video I imagined the voice saying "English toffee" and then when the voice said "English toffee" it sounded exactly like I'd imagined. Perfection. I love How It's Made and the two different voice actors they've had. ...that I know of 🤯

[@cabbie4788]

Off the top of my head I can think of 6 presenters, though I believe in the U.S. there was only ever two. Each major broadcast market seemed to get a different set of presenters which is quite interesting.

[@projectdalekmark]

I was going to say I'm English and I've never seen this toffee before.

[@marvinnation]

What stopped you?

[@raycarter4030]

me neither.

[@RealisticCookingIRL]

AHEM! IT'S "EASY TO SEE" WHY IT'S CALLED ENGLISH TOFFEE

[@DockerBootLaces]

Nah as another brit my mum makes this on the regular when there’s no sweets in the house (well, a much simpler version)

[@Pianoguy32]

I am English, we do not have nuts coating toffee... this is also nothing like English Toffee. Also this doesn't contain any butter.

[@kevinshumaker3753]

For strict vegans...

[@rin_etoware_2989]

English toffee is an American term. get rid of your French horns before you complain about getting your name appropriated.

[@GrahamWalters]

If it hasn't got butter in it, then strictly speaking it can't be called toffee, so the yanks put "English" in front of it to make it more appealing to vegans.

[@Dragontamer135]

My mom and I make toffee around Christmas time every year. The recipe is different and we don't use crushed nuts. We use sprinkles instead and it's still delicious as ever.

[@KanekiKen-fy1hs]

I've never probably had real English toffee, but I will say this "fake" stuff is freaking crazy delicious. Trader Joe's has a type with pistachios and dark chocolate, it's addicting how good it tastes!

[@sanfloo_]

Do you still eat it?

[@theothermagneticaesthetic]

Sure, this isn't actually English toffee, but it looks hella good ngl

[@agentstona]

Than what is ENGLISH TOFFEE ? dont just say something negative and than dont provide EVIDENCE for it ......... wheres your evidence mate ? wheres a link to the so called REAL ENGLISH TOFFEE that you know of.?

[@theothermagneticaesthetic]

@@agentstona Dude, chill, it's only sweets. I'm saying this from the perspective of an English person who has been eating toffee all his life. When I think of English toffee I generally think of a chewy, dairy based toffee with no toppings or anything. Plus, we don't use pecans often in English cooking (at least not where I'm from, could be more common in other parts of the country but IDK). I can't even get this kind of toffee over here, all results on Amazon UK and such for "English toffee" are basically any toffee made in England, but primarily the aforementioned plain stuff. Also, check the other comments. There's tonnes of people from England who's saying the same things as me. In fact, my comment's probably the least negative out of any of them. I literally said that it looks good. I love chocolate and nuts and those aren't necessarily uncommon additions to English toffee. I totally think it (or at least some variation of it) could catch on here. If you still don't believe me or the hundreds of other Englishmen in the comments, here's a direct quote from the wikipedia entry for Toffee (a source is cited in the actual article) "A popular variant in the United States is English toffee, which is a very buttery toffee often made with almonds ... Although named English toffee, it bears little resemblance to the wide range of confectionery known as toffee currently available in the United Kingdom."

[@SgtStevePH]

You can clearly hear the disappointment of the narrator, about THIS being an English Toffee

[@bramtheblackpoolfan6922]

It’s so far from being English toffee, you might as well call it New Zealand toffee! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@eurovision50]

I was thinking the same thing, haha.

[@BigBri7647]

I'm English and I've never seen toffee covered in nuts for sale anywhere

[@LynxEng]

It's as English as the English muffins you get at McDonalds. In fact, most people in England don't even eat muffins from anywhere!

[@CrimeVid]

if you found someone who actually makes real muffins you’d be very, very lucky !

[@CrimeVid]

You can’t snap real stickjaw toffee !

[@lavenderotaku2481]

[@gigicat7043]

[@apocbible]

Looks really nice

Wow, I've never heard that pronunciation before...."peekins" I've only ever heard " peecans" or puhcaans".

[@cindy_kitty]

Yeah, i'm really confused. What's the right pronunciation of "pecans" then??

[@caljones]

Tu Duong puhcaan, i think

[@tommyboybr]

Hahahaha I had to listen three times to understand it hahaha

[@dmcgee3]

Both are considered correct just us/uk different pronunciation. Though if you wanted to get real into it, comes from the French pacane which they got from the Illinois pakani (= /paka;ni/) so basically just pick whatever you prefer

[@EC2019]

Typically in the UK it's "PEE-cans". "Peekins", like this guy says, is pretty much unheard of. You'll also never hear "puh-CAWNS" or "PEE-cawns" - that's very American.

[@MIGASHOORAY]

[@mf2yu197]

@FBI that's an indirect mock sir. What's with you with "the his comment"? Good day!

[@MyVanir]

@FBI He was quite definitely sarcastically mocking people who do that. If he was not, he would not be using "drown" in this context. Stop white knighting some random stranger on the internet.

How is it made then?

[@ButtSauceversion1]

@@lateefajohnson61 We just don't have "English" toffee, it's just toffee. If you asked someone for English toffee they wouldn't have a bloody clue what you're asking for. I'm sure you could get toffee with nuts and chocolate at some boutique sweet shop but nobody here would call it English toffee, it'd be labelled as chocolate and nut toffee. Most common preparation I've seen would just be some plain old toffee with no accutroments.

[@childofcascadia]

@Idk what I'm doing with my life Its not for the US. Here we make proper English toffee with butter and carmelized sugar or molasses like its supposed to be made. Ive never seen it made any other way in my life. Idk what this stuff is, but its not English toffee. Its like carmelized sugar and oil or something. If theyre going to show how somethings made, they should show it properly. Im not even English and I know this is wrong.

[@anthonythomas8840]

Literally thought the same.. Why drown good toffee in nuts anyway?

[@dmcgee3]

Personally I’d move that heating table to where you could walk around it. Save your back. Plus I’m real iffy about it being right against the wall. Not even a stainless steel wall, just straight up paint, which you can see specks of on the table

[@pamburt]

This is not, repeat NOT “English” toffee!! There are soooo many videos on You Tube making similar claims but none are the real thing. For a start off we don’t put nuts in our toffee ( not unless it’s labelled as nut toffee and that’s more of a speciality toffee than plain English toffee). Also, as others have pointed out , English toffee contains dairy products such as butter, cream etc. So please, enough with the nut toffee vids, they may be toffee but not what we eat here in the UK. Sorry!
