Made it, and I'm happy with the results. The only tricky part is to judge how much heat is enough. Burned the first batch. Even had a candy thermometer, and it burned anyway. Hmm.. must have been a bad thermometer. Second batch, stopped at "buggers"-it worked.

I liked the simplicity and convenience of this recipe. Thank-you!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made it yesterday and OMG - it was so good! Definitely a new favourite. I always make different kinds of sweets for christmas and this was my first one this year. More to come...

@ConnNelli Oh I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you : )

That's looks so tasty! Could you use any nut? And use white chocolate to mix things up?

Made this today, first I burnt the almonds was was able to use some of them, Then I toped it with walnuts, because I didn't have enough almonds, I think it came out OK. its in the refridge can't wait to taste it. I will probably make more, later this week, the caramel smells like you could make caramel popcorn too, from same recipe,,, Thank you for the vidio!!!!!

loved it! buggers and all lol.

Thanks for listing the ingredients. However the word buggers is a turn off , makes you not want to make it. That's my opinion (smile)

toffee should not have corn syrup or water in it. real traditional toffee is only made with the sugar & butter. with my own personal recipe i add a dash of vanilla extract... but the corn syrup and water just make for more separation.

Hi Brian, Saw your pic on profile but didn't recognize your YT name, found you through Jill/Sunbeam. I just made a batch of this tonight for friends except did it with peanuts this time. I make a ton of this at Christmas and give in my goody bags. Just remember to cook just a little more than low and use a heavy bottom pan, non stick helps but I know you eat healthy and probably don't use. :o) PS, maragarine will not work.

@KissHope Oh thank-you. Once you explain it, it makes sense to me! haha!  Brian.

Actually Brian the corn syrup keeps the sugar from becoming crystallized/gritty. The molecules of the syrup are composed differently than sugar, there is sceince to it. I make both toffee and caramel sauce, using the syrup in both. The water gives some aid in the time it takes to get to the hard ball stage. Cooking low and slow is best. The person who said it comes out soft did not cook long enough, they cooked to soft ball stage. Good luck in making!

WHY Corn Syrup??
