Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your story, you finally graduated to the cutting corn job, cute ! we all have stories about corn.

Hey! I buy all my baking needs from Vanwert store.. i came accross your channel looking for a way to better pick up my cookies to put on the cookie sheet. So nice to meet ya! Looking forward to viewing your videos!

Love it. NY childhood as well

LoL you said i wish you could smell it. And i sniffed my phone. 😅😅😅

If it seperates, just pour it over a layer of saltine crackers.

It's raining and the comments say it will cause the sugar and butter to separate. 🙈🤔🤔☹️

What was the weather when it separated? Certain candy wont work when damp weather??

I think rerolling is necessary and not a bad thing to get the most out of the dough. I have done both add some new dough and just simply rerolling the scraps. Thanks for your video.

I’ve made it like Hite’s and it’s yummy and gone almost before it’s ready! 🎉🎉❤

Talker. I forget what im waiting for

It seperates because you've over cooked the mixture. Also make sure the thermometer doesn't touch the bottom of the pan. Because then you're taking the twmp of the pan not the mixture.

To prevent it from seperating use more sugar than butter. I use 1 stick of butter to 1 cup of sugar. I also use 1 tablespoon of glucose syrup per cup of sugar. Havent had any batches seperate in years, decades actually lol Im in Florida and have made this during rain or shine or hurricane, humidity at 100% and never had problems with the toffee. Those must be old "wives tales" bcuz I make lots of candies and never had a problem...❤

The true Pennsylvania Amish would not waste dough. My family always rerolled the dough over and over, adding a little new dough and cutting the shapes until there was no dough left, no difference in taste. We always sifted the flour and used baking powder. Also we only used black walnuts for the tops of the cookie.

Butter has to be fresh.

Add vanilla aftercookin

I saw someone that had a temperature spatula! It was really amazing and a great idea!

Yes i do it the way you just did. Add a little fresh to your already rolled.

You're cooking it you're not supposed to cook it no more than 3 minutes once it starts boiling you cooked it way too long

Stop stirring before it reaches the hard crack stage and it shouldn't separate. It works well to stir the almonds into the syrup.

Add 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup to the mixture before cooking to keep it from separating.

Thank you for sharing your story and your recipe! I enjoyed it very much.

Regarding the separation. Someone on another video said… real butter will make it separate so he exclusively uses margarine instead.

Ok you drinking a glass of wine in your warm lovely kitchen made me feel like I was hanging out with my girlfriend while she showed me a fabulous recipe! Thank you for sharing!

I reuse dough with more dough. My favorite cookie!!

Are you using real butter? Because my grandma always insisted on margarine maybe that’s why it’s separated.

Mrs Nye 😂

One other comment... I've been watching a lot of cooking shows on KZbin lately and it seems like all of the chefs are using parchment paper now. You can even buy it in sheets pre-cut to fit cookie sheet pans instead of aluminum foil. Just thought I'd pass this on...

The Saltines on the bottom layer is a very popular item in the New England area.😊. Your candy looks DELICIOUS!

I'm here in Mount Union shucking corn right now to freeze and take back

Thanks for bringing back my memories and doing corn with my grandma here in Ontario Canada. 😊

Always added green peppers. We called them mango peppers when I grew up in central PA.

I really enjoyed your video it was heartfelt and full of love just as sweet easy video to watch thank you so much

You forgot the shallots or onions I didn't see you putting them in unless I missed it.

................what?

I love how she speaks just a normal nice person !!!

I never spray the pan before roasting nuts. Looks delish.

Look burnt!!!

Sooo if my dough is too dry do I add a little more milk or butter?

My mom made English toffee every Christmas, only, she used toasted English walnuts on top...

Looks mighty good

You are quite entertaining and I love that you are drinking wine!!! Made my day!!

I watched someone else make an they said another add 1teaspoon baking soda an it make it soft inside if you prefer 🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄⛄ Have a Wonderful Christmas. ⛄🎄🙏⛄🎄

Great recipe,but the background music was distracting to me.

You made my mouth water💖. Our family made peanut brittle using salted peanuts and added 1 tsp soda. We would take it immediately outside and carefully sit the pan on a leveled snow drift. Then the giggling would start like young girls when it would start cracking and warp. Beautiful Christmas Memories 🎄🙏💖

My gosh. This is soooo delicious! I made it exactly as said and I’ve made 3 batches this year. I have an induction stovetop and the highest level is 8, so I cooked it right through on 4. I have a candy thermometer and t’s a great gadget to have! Thank you for sharing Sara!

My family recipe calls for 2lbs flour, 4 cups light brown sugar, 1lb butter, and 3 eggs plus the egg wash. Cook at 350 for 6 minutes. I think it’s so interesting how much sand tart cookie recipes vary.

You make all my foods from Pittsburgh!

When measuring brown sugar, you have to pack it.

YUM!!!

Wow, I Like the fact you are having a glass of red wine while making candy! so I subscribed
