    It's easier just to remember toffee is a one to one ratio of butter to sugar. So 2 cups sugar , 2 cups butter, then 6 tbsp water and 2 tsp vanilla. This will make a 13x9 pan of candy. Also it is easier to mix your toasted nuts into the caramel just before pouring onto your pan, then sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the candy and let it sit for 5 min then spread chocolate with an offset spatula. Putting the chocolate on the bottom is messy and doesn't spread evenly. Hope this helps.

    My granny’s recipe was soooo easy-a cup of butter, a cup of sugar, stir it constantly over a medium high heat just until it started to smoke, then pour it in your buttered pan. Her instruction was that it should take under five minutes from start to finish! Lol

    The toffee recipe I use calls for 2 cups of sugar to 1 pound of butter. I mix the nuts into the candy before pouring out. It makes the toffee a bit more tender to chew and it toasts the nuts too.

    I think it would be delicious to add a very thin sprinkle of Kosher salt on top for a salted caramel taste. I honestly can't wait to try this for our family Christmas get together. We always just do finger foods and appetizers. This will be a perfect addition to the desert table.

    I love your channel! I make this every year for the holidays. My mom loved Heath and Skor bars and this is so similar. I always put the toppings on the top. The chocolate melts immediately and it's easy to spread, then I sprinkle on the nuts. I'm going to try it your way next time. I like that you had chocolate in the middle.

    Don't throw away the almond or pecan fines. They make a good gluten free pie crust.

  • @genayates7335

    Funny I have made this many times and I never added the chocolate in with the nuts . I always added the choc chips to the top of toffee and it melts on the top of toffee and I spread it and then add chopped almonds on the top . This looks a little easier and maybe better . I’ll try it . Also , she ain’t kidding when she says go fast from the stove to pouring it in the pan . Never take your eye off that toffee on the stove top ….or will burn and separate in a split second .

    I bet the pecan side is so good! I love pecans in desserts. In fact my favorite dessert is chocolate pecan pie. I sitting here trying to remember if I have enough butter in the fridge too lol. It's just as well if I don't, I know I don't have any pecans. Looks like I might be making a trip to the store tomorrow.

    My best friend and i had fun this evening making your toffee, to put in some tins, and following along to your video. We atarted off with a double batch as i had a good amount of walnuts and chocolate chips thinking that would have been perect. I didnt realize how much the toffee settles down into the gaps and prevents you from spreading it around very much. I ended up having to make a single batch to top it off. Also retried your fudge recipe again adding chocolate chips in at the end instead of mixing cocoa into the sugar and that worked so well.

    Ahhh! What a great lil hack of straining the chopped nuts where you are getting more of the bigger pieces of the nuts in the toffee. That is such a clever tip! Why didn’t I think of that?!🤦‍♀️
