  2. This looks fantastic and I want to try it. The recipe calls for vanilla but I don't see it mentioned in the steps. At what point is it added and any particular amount?

    1. Sorry Kathryn, I left out the vanilla. Put it in just as you take the candy off the stove before you pour it on the marble slab.

  5. You neglected to say butter the marble slab! As a first time user of a marble slab my toffee is stuck to the slab and I can't get it off!
