Oh my mother loved toffee. I haven't ever made it but maybe I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks and hugs!
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?
ReplyDeleteSorry 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.
DeleteThere is no measurement for how much vanilla to use. Could you share please? Thanks
ReplyDeletethis is the best and easiest toffee i've ever made. i cut mine with pizza cutter and dipped them in melted chocolate. YUM!
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteI use waxed paper on a cookie sheet. Works great!
ReplyDeleteDo you use salted or unsalted butter?
