Prep
: Line a 9X5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, combine iceing sugar, milk, corn syrup, vanilla extract and star anise.
Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon.
Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove star anise with a slotted spoon.
Gradually stir in butter.
Cook, stirring frequently over medium heat until temperature reaches 230 degrees f (110 c) with candy thermometer or instant read thermometer.
Pour hot toffee into prepared pan and cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before cutting.
Trim the uneven edges and cut into 18 pieces. Sprinkle with coarse salt (I use sea salt).
Store in the fridge in an airtight container. Place in mini muffin cups in a cookie tin, if giving as an edible gift.
