My Swedish Grandma's (Super Easy) Chocolate Toffee Recipe

[@jlogsdon1540]

I had to look up the Swedish measurement for DL. I found this to be helpful: Here we have listed converted measurements that will help you convert from cups to dl whenever you need: 1/4 cup = 0,6 dl eller 4 msk 1/3 cup = 0,8 dl eller 5,3 msk 1/2 cup = 1,2 dl 3/4 cup = 1,8 dl 1 cup = 2,36 dl 1,5 cup = 3,56 dl 2 cup = 4,74 dl 3 cup = 7,1 dl

[@temi-twistedzones]

Tyvm I was trying to understand the conversion of do. Hugs

[@rickr9435]

or 1dl = 100ml

This is great, thank you! I'll pin this comment, hopefully it can help others!

The way you speak and converse in three languages is impressive. You sound like a beautiful melody. Oh, and the subtitles you provide is appreciated too. Your audience is far reaching for people of other languages and cultures to appreciate. I think you're amazing and inspirational. Thank you for always considering others. The respect you demonstrate to your chinese elders in your videos & reference to your own family (who are probably watching) is a virtue so lacking in our western world. Thank you Miriam for beiing culturally adaptive, loving life and being you.

[@siuhoahambaliroehrig6922]

Yes, Miriam is 👍 her parents have very well done of their homework as parents!

[@cz964]

Well said. I was initially attracted by their interracial marriage but they have so much more to offer.

Sansan eating butter and his face when mom asks for it is priceless!!😂😂 I keep rewatching because it's so funny! He is tearing into that butter!!!

Wowww super! I am brazilian married to Chines and we live in a small town called tongling, southeast China! I love your videos and I feel less alone accompanying your family. One day I'm going to speak Mandarin like you. ❤️🇨🇳🇧🇷

Absolutely loving your Christmas series. I'm away from home this year as well, so it feels extra nice reminiscing on the old traditions. Thank you!

[@walterchin8832]

Now that you mentioned chocolate toffee, my mouth starts watery. I see SanSan love butter. My daughter and now her two young daughters love butter too.

[@paecpc]

Oh your grandma is an artist and a painter, no wonder you are such an artistic lady, now we know why. And SanSan is so so adorable 🥰

Oh Miriam I am smiling again. Watching this Again !! This season brings so many memories of the old days. From our home land. Have a lovely Christmas time with your beautiful family in faraway China ! ❤️❤️❤️

My daddy always made the candy in our house. He was Susie home maker in our family. He made the best BBQ and Christmas dinner/ Easter dinners in our life. He always wanted us to have endless treats and we felt so loved by our parents when I was growing up.

San San with the butter 😆 my daughter is 3 and whenever we make toast she “sneakily” takes little chunks from the butter and eats them. Thankfully she hasn’t figured out that she could just pick up the whole thing and take a bite 😂

[@sm3296]

The made me smile so much. Your whole family is lovely. Now I’m intrigued by your granny. I hope you share more of her. 🍬 🖼 ❤️

[@MiriamFollin]

I have quite a few ideas I'd love to make with her! She's such a character! ❤️ My grandfather was also a painter and an art teacher, and in a way I think she ended up a little in his shadow. Although their paintings were very different! I would like to do a series with my grandmother, my aunt and my cousin. They are all artists, and I think it would be cool to show three generations of artists, their struggles, inspirations and life. I hope I can go to Sweden soon! 😊

"Children not allowed to eat it". Thought I would choke on my breakfast, laughing. I just might have to try making this. The conversion measurements that someone commented with will come in handy. I had one favorite candy that my grandma made too, apple cotlets they were called. My mom used to do it too. I've not ever gotten it right. Miriam, you have given me the motivation to try it again

Thank you for this lovely video ♡ I have a question, what kind of sirup do you use?

[@MiriamFollin]

This is a common syrup, household syrup. In Sweden we have three nuances of syrup, white, light and dark. This is the light one, the middle one! I hope this helped!

[@anniebertolini724]

I have lots of questions Miriam. I am wondering what the syrup is you used as it is dark in colour? Is the cream a long life thickened cream or can I use a fresh whipping or thickened cream. I have never seen vanilla powder either- thank you for bringing new things into my life, love your channel.

[@asinclair2492]

Yes you can use any cream heavier than single, like whipping or double. Just look up recipes for Swedish knâck toffee for help. You can find vanilla sugar maybe. Syrup is any light coloured syrup like golden.

Hi Miriam, I'd love to make this toffee. Can you please help with a couple of things? What is a dl? (Weight?) and what syrup would I use?

Hi, I pinned the comment with the conversion to cups etc! So look at the top of the comment section😊

@@MiriamFollin which syrup though. And you have sugar listed twice in the recipe once in tbs and once in dl - how do measure it in xdl/ ml. Is the cream single cream or double? Thanks

I would love to make such a delicious candy but I do not know what ‘syrup’ is. Here in Canada, we have maple syrup and golden syrup. What kind of syrup is it?

[@eri6349]

I cant say for sure but im almost certain its regular golden syrup since maple syrup is hardly ever used in Sweden☺️

[@asinclair2492]

Hi I looked up recipes for knäck Swedish toffee and found they said its light Swedish syrup from IKEA!, light molasses or golden syrup.

[@injunnfuz6698]

Yummy delucious home made sweet love them must try at home

[@suzannes5888]

What kind of syrup does the original recipe use? Maple, date - or?? (I know syrups in candy recipes can generally be interchanged, but I thought it would be fun to reproduce the original flavor profile - especially since toffee is my favorite!) Congrats on making a new tradition in your Chinese home 🍬 EDIT: I just looked up the history of Swedish syrup - and it's unique, and interesting. I'm going to try the recipe using dark corn syrup in lieu of hunting down your special Swedish "ljus sirap (light syrup) or mörk sirap (dark syrup)".

[@Carryp]

The ljus and mörk sirap that you already identified is made from the leftovers from making sugar from beets, it has a pretty bland flavour with a hint of salt, so I think you can switch it out for pretty much any syrup you like
