Instructions

In a saucepan or skillet, add the sugar, water, and blood orange juice. Place on medium-high heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. After this, do not continue stirring, but have a whisk nearby for when you add the butter later.
Keep the sugar mixture boiling until you have a medium amber-colored mixture. Swirl the pan throughout the cooking process to keep things evenly distributed. As soon as you have reached medium brown color, take the pan off the heat and immediately add the melted butter, orange zest, and 1/4 tsp of salt.
Pour the toffee mixture straight into whatever mold you are using. If the mold is silicone, there is no need to line it with anything, but if it is a non-stick metal tray coat it with cooking spray before you start.
Sprinkle the toppings on top of the toffees and leave to set for 30 minutes.
Pop the hard toffees out of the mold once they are fully cold.

Notes

Get everything you need prepared before you start. Measure out the water, orange juice, and sugar, zest the orange, and get the butter melted. Prepare whatever mold or baking sheet you are going to use to set the toffee in, and prepare any toppings so they are closeby the mold.

Wrap the toffees in wax or parchment paper to store.

Sugar boiling is extremely hot – I would not recommend making this recipe with children around.
