  1. STEP 1

    Butter 2 (15x10x1-inch) baking pans; set aside.

Tip #1

Test your thermometer in boiling water. If the water boils at a temperature other than 212°F, adjust the temperature accordingly.

Tip #2

If your toffee separates during cooking, carefully and slowly add 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir constantly until mixture goes back together.

Tip #3

Recipe makes 2 1/4 pounds.

Tip #4

Toasting nuts before adding to a recipe intensifies their flavor. Toast nuts in an ungreased skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. To oven-toast, place in baking pan. Bake at 350°F, 5-7 minutes. Watch closely.

Tip #5

If using an electric stove, don't reduce heat.
