Louise, I lost my 43 year old daughter a few days ago to a drunk driver and you can imagine the grief our family is going through. But at the end of the day, I watch your videos and I am at peace. Erin loved this recipe, I will definitely be making it when I can muster enough energy to stand up in the kitchen. Thank you. Dianna

Made it with brown sugar and almonds. Wonderful. Thank you! 🎄 Update: I’ve made three batches, and have no leftovers. This is an evil recipe. Evil I tell you.🤣

I take care of a 95 year old lady who adores me and I adore her she was born in England and was telling me about English toffee. I’ve tried looking to buy it and haven’t found it so I decided to make it myself for her for Christmas!! Thank you

My mother in law taught me how to do this and we had a wooden spoon that was our color measure . When the color matched we added our vanilla and poured. Worked perfectly!

The batch I made on Christmas Eve to take to Christmas dinner was a hit… it came out absolutely PERFECT… I made a simple change to it because I didn’t realize I was out of my pure vanilla extract… I used some butter rum I had in my freezer… OMG!!! I will never make toffee with vanilla again…. This stuff was GONE so fast! My brother got a piece and after tasting it went and got a bowl and took about a 1/3 of it to keep for himself lol… I couldn’t believe how good this stuff was! I used Dark Chocolate Chips instead of regular ones also… I swear I found the recipe for a Skör candy bar!!!!

I’ve been making this for years. This was my 96 year old aunts recipe. I never add salt or vanilla. I add 3 tablespoons of water and use Hershey bars. Stir., stir, stir. At least 15 minutes at medium heat. You know it’s done when you see the first puff of smoke. Immediately pour it in the pan, top with Hershey bars. Smooth out the chocolate.Then add chopped pecans or chopped walnuts on top. Either one. Delicious!

Louise, I absolutely LOVE your videos and I've made many of your recipes, and they all turn out just perfect! I've made the toffee now a couple of times. It's wonderful. I have a suggestion though. After the toffee is poured into the 9 X 13 pan and the chocolate chips are scattered on top, instead of using aluminum foil (which can be costly), I just use a large cookie sheet and place it on top. That way you save on using aluminum foil, and the cookie sheet doesn't even get dirty and doesn't need to be washed afterwards!

Choc.-covered toffee is one of my favorite candies, but it's expensive to buy, so I'm definitely going to try this. You're a great teacher, btw. You articulate well and speak succinctly and you cover all the bases.

I can’t make that anymore, as I would eat the whole batch. I love it!

This was the first ever toffee recipe I came across on YouTube. It was actually in my recommended. My mom LOVES toffee so I made this for her for Christmas just now. I added really finely chopped almonds to the chocolate chips on top. It’s perfect. I didn’t even burn it! I got it to that coffee color that yours had. I also think it wise to use a spatula when stirring it in the pot like you have. It was easier to stir and transfer to the pan. Thank you for this and have a very happy holiday season! ❤️💚

My mom used to make her Dad's butter toffee recipe, the taste of which was possibly better than a Heath bar. But it called for Karo syrup--which I think was what caused it to pull our fillings out. This sounds very simple and my family lives heath bars. Thank you so much, I never dreamed it would be so easy to make good butter toffee.

[Lazydaisy]

I just made this for the first time, never have I had such an easy toffee that turned out perfectly. I THINK THIS IS MY NEW GO to. Thanks so much

[poppylove]

I have moved away from close friends and my very best friend who I always did Christmas baking together with, and this reminds me of how much fun that was. Thanks for sharing this with us, I felt like I was almost right there in the kitchen with you! 👍🏼❤️🥰

[janwheeler]

I made this at Christmas (with cashews) and it was a huge hit with everyone so am doing it today after our Foodi Turkey comes out ( yes, A Salted Pepper Foodi recipe!♥️)
This time I'm going to do it with pecans, my favorite nut!! Thank you Louise you're the best. I wish you had your own Food Network channel show, your great way of explaining, your sweet personality and your recipes along with the Ninja Foodi could change the way the world cooks!!😁

Your toffee (brickle) looks so delicious!!! Thanks for sharing. If I have a choice between cooking with gas or electric, I choose gas every time; sixty-six years of experience here. 1) Instant on/off (no boil overs) so you do not have to remove possibly a very heavy pot to a cooler area of the stove or counter. 2) cost less to use gas than electric however, it does cost a little more to purchase a gas counter cook top or stove and it has to be installed by a licensed plumber. 3) consistent cooking temperature; electric burners cool down and heat up constantly. 4) can still cook using gas even when electricity goes off (the electric light and clock will go off but you can still cook). 5) use the flame to get a blackened/caramalized peel on sweet peppers for your recipes. And 6} if you smoke, you can do what my grandmother used to do, light her cigarette off the gas flame !!! I would rather have a gas stove in general, for cooking, baking and 7) proofing my yeast breads. 8) You can also dry flowers for you get the idea. LOL !

I made this. This is soooo delicious. I followed your recipe to a “tee”! It tastes just like a Heath bar which I totally love. Thank you so much for this recipe as well as your others!

I have been making a similar recipe for 50 years - since high school home ec class! The one point I would like to add is the attention given to the stove and pan used. You must use a heavy bottom pan and stoves are all so different so once the toffee boils keep the heat lower than higher to just keep that low bubbling. Be patient! The moisture in your home makes a difference too. I use unsalted butter because it’s better butter and add 1/4 t salt to each cube. I also only use raw sugar now - so much better than refined ! Yum

[cookonechefdenice]

the melting of the chocolate is genius, absolutely love it

[lobomedina]

I absolutely love how this recipe has so few ingredients! SO many recipes say "easy", but then click on, and there are, like, 15 ingredients jajaja 😄

[brittanyshaw]

Where has this video been all my life!? I didn't know it was so easy! Thank you for this simple recipe 😍
