1

Begin by making the biscuit dough. In a bowl put the butter, icing sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, flour and corn flour, then mix until it resembles breadcrumbs. Use your hand to squeeze the mixture together to form a dough ball. Lightly flour two sheets of baking parchment paper and put the dough in between. Roll out to a thickness of 5mm. Use a 2 inch ring cutter and cut out 18 circles. Gather up any scraps and re-roll to get a total of 36 biscuits. 

2

Line two baking trays with baking parchment paper. Place 18 biscuits onto each tray leaving space in between as they will spread out during cooking. Put the 2 inch ring cutter over the biscuit then press a small lid into the middle of the biscuit to make an indentation. Repeat this step to all the biscuits. Leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. 

3

Preheat the oven to 170C / Fan 150C / Gas Mark 3 then bake the biscuits for 15 minutes until lightly golden brown in colour. Allow to cool on the tray. 

4

To make the toffee filling, put the granulated sugar, liquid glucose and water into a heavy based saucepan and mix. Cook on a low heat, allowing the sugar to dissolve then increase to medium heat, cook until the sugar begins to turn to a golden caramel colour. Quickly add in the cream. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chilled unsalted butter. CAUTION: Handle with care as the sugar gets extremely hot. It is not recommended that children help with making the toffee filling. 

5

Put a teaspoon of the toffee filling in the middle of each biscuit. Allow to cool then place in the fridge to set. 

6

Melt the Milk Chocolate by following the instructions on the back of the packet. Spread a teaspoon of chocolate over the toffee filling on each biscuit. 

7

Decorate the toffee pops with Dr. Oetker Giant Chocolate Stars, Dr. Oetker Silver Shimmer Spray and Dr. Oetker Christmas Party Sprinkles to give a festive finish. Allow the chocolate to set in the fridge. Then place in an air-tight container to keep fresh until needed.
