This toffee is ready to eat straight from the package. For a more involved use, you can gently chop the pieces with a sharp knife or the side of a heavy cleaver. Be careful as the toffee can be quite hard. The chopped pieces can then be sprinkled over ice cream, yogurt, or used as a topping for baked goods like cookies or brownies. It can also be incorporated into homemade candy bars or used to decorate cupcakes.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its crispness, store any remaining toffee in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture, as humidity can cause the toffee to become sticky and lose its texture. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent staleness.
