Toffee is a sweet treat that became popular in England and across Europe in the early 1800s. Made by caramelizing brown sugar or molasses along with butter, the confection is known as buttercrunch in America, where white granulated sugar is the preferred ingredient. Today, toffee in all its wide varieties is a popular candy enjoyed around the world.
