| I have a recipe but it's at home. I'll post it tonight. Remember, you MUST use a candy thermometer and don't make candy on a humid day. Toffee has simple ingredients--butter, sugar, water, vanilla and salt. Melted chocolate with ground pecans on top is optional. |
| mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ :lol: |
| I usually buy it from a company in Colorado, Enstroms.com.....but can't wait to see this recipe. Candy is always a trick with high altitude since water doesn't boil at the normal 212 degrees. |
| As promised: English butter toffee
2 sticks unsalted butter 1 cup sugar (white) 1/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate 1/4 minced pecans 1. Butter a 10 x 15 jelly roll pan (with sides). 2. Combine butter, sugar, water and salt in a heavy, 2.5 quart saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring often, until a candy thermometer registers 275-280 (this seems to take forEVAH). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Immediately pour onto the jelly roll pan, spreading it into a 10 inch square (I let it spread on its own). Cool completely. 3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Spread on toffee and sprinkle with nuts. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm. Break into pieces when completely cool. 4. Makes one serving 
SheepieBoss, don't know how you would adjust for high altitude. |
One serving? Paula...I love you!  Thanks! |
| One serving..........right on!
For high altitude one needs to first bowl water and take temp then adjust from there. When living in Colo. high mtns water boiled not at 212, but rather 201! Now that's I'm just below 5,000 ft. I don't need to make such radical adjustments....still some though.....often just four-or five degrees, one degree per 1,000 feet. |
Sounds so good, but 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup of sugar for ONE serving?? Yowza!  |
| Yeah, I guess that's what makes it good! Butter, yum.
Of course in my post is should have been boil, not bowl........not enough morning coffee I guess. |

 That's it! No wonder I'm attracted to the butter in this recipe. |
