1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

1/3 cup coarsely crushed toffee candy (such as Skor, Heath bar, or Almond Roca)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in heavy medium saucepan until blended. Gradually add 1/4 cup milk, whisking until cornstarch is dissolved. Whisk in remaining 1 3/4 cups milk.
