Remove from heat, spoon or pour into dinosaur shaped silicone shaped molds. Allow to cool fully before popping out of molds. Store in an airtight container with baking paper to separate. Toffee will be hard so be careful when eating!
TIP Toffee is seriously hot! Don’t be tempted to clean up the drips with your fingers. Let them set, and then clean up.
TIP Having trouble getting the saucepan clean – just let it soak in water and the toffee will dissolve.
