Delighted to have teamed up with Thermapen to bring you this recipe. Although it is a sponsored partnership, all opinions are my own. This pistachio cardamom butter toffee with rose petals (and a pinch of saffron) will make a gorgeous treat for Valentines day and an edible Christmas gift. Hands up all toffee lovers out there. Have I got a treat for you? Yeap, I am talking saffron pistachio cardamom butter toffee with rose petals (and a pinch of saffron). Actually it is so crunchy that I considered calling it a pistachio rose brittle instead. It’s all good. Yes it is a mouthful. But all those flavours, which are so individually amazing, give you something awesome when combined. A serious bit of heaven in your mouth. Oh and the fun you will have breaking the toffee into pieces with your toffee hammer (or dropping it on the kitchen floor, bashing it on the worktop, or getting a child to hit it with a bit of wood – all of which also work perfectly). This very highly addictive buttery, cardamom-scented, rose topped dessert is an Iranian specialty. I can imagine it smashed up and sprinkled over desserts and ice creams for that extra added crunch.

If you have never made your own toffee then I suggest you get yourself a reliable thermometer, to help you check temperatures and give you that extra peace of mind if you are unsure about visual cues.It is also rather handy for making other sweet treats like fudge along with cooking up the perfect sunday roasts. This Pistachio cardamom butter toffee would make a really great foodie gift. Perfect for Valentine’s day, Easter, Christmas and many other occasions. Simply break into bits, add into cellophane bags or lovely prettied up jars and watch your friends light up when they get them. Apparently, it can keep for up to 2 weeks in an air tight container. You are much stronger than me if it lasts that long.
