Chocolate, Toffee, & Nuts combine for a delicious and hard to resist treat. Perfect for Christmas or any time of the year!
English Toffee is a treat I love year round. When I used to fly a lot, I would get some at the airport if the airport had a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. But I rarely fly anymore. So I don’t don’t get to enjoy it often enough.
I was first introduced to English Toffee by a friend. She made it every Christmas. She would invite me over when I was in high school to make caramel and she would make toffee. And we gave away both to friends and neighbors for Christmas. I plan to carry on that tradition this year by giving neighbors caramel and toffee and a few other goodies that I’m sharing with you guys.
I hadn’t made toffee before, but I have made candy from time to time. I figured it would be similar. And sure enough it was. When making candy, I don’t use a glass candy thermometer. I have broken a few too many of those and once even broke it in the candy. The candy had to be scrapped because of it. I use a thermometer similar to this one. Polder Digital In-Oven Thermometer/Timer, Graphite
but mine doesn’t have the clip. I used a binder clip to hold it in place. I got the idea from Alton Brown. I like it because I can set it to alarm when it’s close to the temp I need to reach. The toffee was pretty easy to make and doesn’t take much time at all.

Thanks for coming by. English Toffee is so good and I love it year round too.
Thanks. It was tasty as well. I know what to give all my family for Christmas this year.
I love English toffee, and this recipe looks great! Toffee is always a good idea, but especially with chocolate and pecans! Love it!
I agree, chocolate and pecans take it over the top. I almost always substitute pecans when a nut is called for in a recipe.
That sounds so good. Homemade candy is always a good gift!
It definitely is. My husband’s family loved it. They will each be getting some for Christmas.
