This is one of the Christmas sweets that we make every year.
English Toffee
Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine I find that regular Blue Bonnet works pretty well
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts I typically use almonds
Instructions
- Combine butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla, and bring to a boil. Stir vigorously until sugar and butter are combined.
- Continue cooking until the mixture is light brown in color and crack stage (300 degrees) has been reached.
- Pour onto baking sheet (with sides) and spread thin. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot candy and allow to melt. Use a fork to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the candy. Sprinkle the finely chopped nuts on top.
- When cool, break into pieces.
