Left over toffee - what can I do?

[LucyInAust]

I made a croquembouche and, reading recipes, I decided I needed lots of toffee for the amount of choux I had. I made up the toffee and put it in a tray, to break up and reheat for assembly. Unfortunately I totally over estimated the amount I needed ... now I have lots of chunks of toffee ... and nothing to do with them!!

Any suggestions?!

I was thinking remelting it, adding nuts and making praline - but then what to do with the praline?!

[jsmeeker]

eat it?

Give it to friends to eat?

Mix it into coffee of chocolate ice cream, then eat it?

When I make praline, I do a couple of things:

1) I grind some up in a food processor to make a fine powder to flavor buttercream

2) I break it up into chunks and save it for garnish on appropriate desserts. I store both the praline chunks and powder in an airtight container with dessicant so it doesn't get sticky and melty.

Or you could go to a completely crazy place and use it to coat chorizo, as per post 185 in this thread.

Sugar covered meat? Yes, please.
