National Buttercrunch Day

January 20th is National Buttercrunch Day in the United States.

Buttercrunch (sometimes butter crunch) is a type of toffee created in the United States, different from the misnamed English Toffee - misnamed as that is also a US creation. Buttercrunch, the toffee, should not be confused with buttercrunch, they type of lettuce.

Buttercrunch is coated with chocolate and usually crushed and toasted almonds. Like other toffees and similar foods it's made by caramelising sugar, and also has butter in it.

As well as the original toffee variety, buttercrunch is also popular as a type of cookie, although in there are of course differences between the cookies and the actual toffee.

Buttercrunch toffee is a comparatively easy dish to make, as it only has a few ingredients - nuts, brown sugar, butter and chocolate chips. The most difficult part here is with caramelising the sugar correctly.
