My 95-year-old Mother & I recently discovered your KZbin channel, & we've been binge-watching! Thank you for bringing a wholesome homecooking channel to the masses. Praying God's blessings upon your home.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you Nita, I'm Blessed with the kindest subscribers, or what I call my friends, God Bless,xoxoxo

[@Rollwithit699]

Looks just like my toffee recipe, except I always add vanilla after boil stops so it doesn't evaporate the alcohol in vanilla. Love this channel. What a great life.

[@mjkay8660]

add butter rum.. its great!

[@poetvic1958]

Found your channel over the weekend and have watched several. I absolutely love the way you and the Mr. have respect for each other. It's wonderful for you to share your recipes and other information. The world needs get get back to the way you live daily. Keep up the great videos and GOD Bless you and your family!

[@teaserspleasers6632]

OMG this is the BEST EVER!!! It was too dang cute seeing Mr Browns hand coming in to snitch a piece of that goodness!! What was funnier was when you shooed his hand away!! XOXO Happy Holidays Ms Lori Luvs ya

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh thanks, hes always around when theirs food around, Merry Christmas to you and your family, xoxoxo

[@VickiesCountryHome]

It is so beautiful with no leaves on the trees! I love me some toffee, and yours looks so good! I also love how Mr. Brown helped by buttering the parchment paper, and how he snuck a piece while you were filming! 😄 Brian always offers to help me when I am making his favorites too!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Hello, and Merry Christmas to you!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thanks , it really started snowing later, but didn't stick much, I was really wanting 3 or 4 inches! The toffee is really good, God Bless sister.

[@HeritageWaysKatie]

I think Mr. Brown butters her up and she eggs him on 😉😬😂😃♥️

[@mommatsbbqsauce329]

Hello. So nice to meet you! I’ve watched several of your cooking videos and I really enjoyed all of them very much. My family (from Texas) cooks exactly like you do. It’s great cause I’ve been able to put recipes together that I had forgot . Thank y’all for the homestead videos also. I should send you a jar of my sauce, I bet y’all would enjoy it. God bless yall. ✌️🌷

[@Tessie46255]

Lori, you’re killing me here!! I love everything you make. I will HAVE to go make this today! Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@lisareaume3857]

I couldn't do any canning today,so this will do NICELY! Thank you Miss Lori,your neighbor in Mountain View!!!!!! Have a very blessed day!

[@brightpurpleviking]

Oooo I’m gonna make this for Christmas gifts! I’m not usually good with things that require a thermometer but I will give it a try. Thank you!

[@HomeInTheSticks]

I too love snow and gracious Mrs Lori, your toffee looks delicious!! Thank ya for sharing mam!! Dan

[@Jeannified]

Mr. Brown's hand sneaking into the frame for the biggest piece of toffee...too funny!!!

[@jemmiestone8284]

Oh my goodness Ms. Lori! I love Heath bars to. I make homemade candies and make goody bags for Christmas for family and friends. Now I have a new candy to add. Thank you so much. God Bless You and Mr Brown..

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thanks Jemmie, love toffee, xoxoxo

[@lucyo4124]

"It's a good thing to give as gifts...or keep it all and eat it yourself!" haha...my kinda gal, Lori...this look's SO good...another recipe saved, darling!! xo

[@CBray-hq7jc]

I am going to try this recipe. You are a woman after my own heart! So glad I found your channel!

[@fannieallen6005]

I didn't realize toffee was so easy to make. My family will be pleased 😊

[@rvan3202]

I have very bad anxiety. Watching you is one of the few things that relaxes me.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

I understand, I too fight anxiety, it's not fun, sometimes it's bad enough I wont grocery shop unless Mr. Brown takes me, I dont shop much, alot I purchase on line, their was times I would have to pull over and sit there , and just breath slowly, in and out, relax, and then take off driving, dont know why I have it so bad. I just closely eyes, slowly breath and pray, Dear lord, if it be thy will take this anxiety from me, and I will start to relax and get better. God Bless,xoxoxo

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

Mrs. Lori that picture in the beginning was so pretty. I just love all of the trees you are surrounded with. It looks like the most peaceful place to live. Your candy is one of my favorites. For some reason candy making makes me nervous sometimes. I guess it is having to stir and watch the thermometer at the same time. Lol I have to make a softer candy because my teeth are not as strong as they used to be but I love your recipe especially to give as a gift. Hope you have been doing well! I certainly have missed you! I have an old recipe of a date candy my grandmother used to make and you keep it in the freezer and I just loved it as a kid. I might try that one soon. Hope I didn't talk your head off! Lol Thank you for sharing your recipe I think I will try it. You made it look pretty easy. Have a great blessed Sunday! Love you lots------------------Tressa Daigle

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh Tressa, it's good to hear from you, I hope I can get caught up on your videos soon, you have been doing so well, so proud of you, your a good cook ,and Baker! Love you, Merry Christmas!

[@irenepirnik2926]

Yummy. I wish I had some. I think I might try to make this. First time and I’m 71.

[@stanhamilton6031]

MMMmmm! A wonderful treat for trick-or-treaters too! Happy Halloween in 2019! God Bless!

[@kiriaioulia]

Miss Lori! My butt is getting bigger just watching all these delicious desserts! I don't have the will power to not eat it all by myself!!! I still get asked to make your Lunch Lady Cinnamon Rolls! Soooooo good!

[@DivineTimesTwo]

Love Heath bars! The toffee came out amazing, that won’t last around us. 😜😜❤️

[@Sassylarita]

My 95 year old aunt who passed away two years ago, would make this and lay Hershey Chocolate candy bars over the toffee and covered with chopped pecans. Great video!

[@marygallagher3368]

I FINALLY made this and it IS like a Heath Bar!!! It was so hard to take it to work (but I held a little back 😁) . Everybody said how good it was and that made me feel good! Thanks again Ms Lori - another winner!!!❤️😘

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh good, xoxoxo

[@TUSSCANNY]

Oh how I wish I had a kitchen again. I'd be a making that candy. It looks so yummy. Assisted living doesn't offer that good stuff. Never give up your life. You give up everything. Old age stinks. Granny Fan

[@brendaarnold3395]

I love your trees and homestead, and your kitchen, etc. LOL I will try making your toffee for the holidays.

[@suecastillo4056]

ANY day is a good day to make candy... ESPECIALLY TOFFEE!!!!!My favorite!!! YUM!!! Thanks!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘🙋‼️🥰

[@shelwhitley1011]

Any day EXCEPT a rainy one or when the humidity is high! We live down in the humidity - on - steroids belt that follows I-10 north of the Gulf...you have to grab a chance to make candy, 7 minute icing, etc when you get a rare day of lower humidity. 😰 I've had this recipe since 1986 and it's always a big hit...who doesn't LOVE a HEATH bar? 😋

[@BeeWOWdbyAprilLee]

Ohhhh Lord does that look amazing. I laughed when Mr Brown's hand snuck in from the side and grabbed a piece. Lol

[@HeavensEssentials]

I love toffee and I love making gifts for everyone for Christmas. Looks like this one is going be on the list to make 😋

[@riverramblings4843]

You are amazing bringing us these delicious desserts! Thank you!💓

[@ritabrunetti381]

I've just recently found you on youtube. This recipe will be added to my toffee recipes. So many great ways to make and enjoy toffee!!

[@deballen6241]

O Mrs. Lorie I hate to admit I think I was a brand new teenager the last time I made toffee in the early 70's I love the stuff thanks for sharing the recipe. It looks wonderful. I've been tempted! Hahaha Merry Christmas! God Bless you both!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thanks Deb, I love toffee too, Merry Christmas! Xoxo

[@lindajaskot8334]

Oh my goodness!! That looks good!! I ❤️ love all your recipes!! Keep them coming!! Thanks!!

[@IngeLyck]

I am watching holiday dessert in March. :):):) They looks sooo yummie, I have to try this recipe. :) Thank you Mrs. Lory

[@carolprivett4957]

I'm watching in June! And YES!, I will be making some! Thanks

[@constancetoole9410]

Toffee is my favorite also, I'm going to make this recipe, I love watching you !! THANKYOU !! 🤗

[@marilyn3826]

wow! how easy and delicious! I love Heath Bars too. Will try this tomorrow just need some Karo syrup. thanks from Spring. Texas. your friend and fan.

[@jennyanimal9046]

I love the sound of your voice it is very soothing. You would make an excellent narrator for story books. 🙂

[@cindywagner4623]

That candy pot is well used and well loved. Perfect size too! I have one of those marauding husbands too. I make peppermint bark every year for Christmas. Teachers, bus drivers, mailmen love the goody bags.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

That is awesome!

[@agb0012000]

P.S. thank you for posting this recipe. I’m with you, I looooooooove Heath Bars. One of my, if not my favorite candies, next to Lifesaver butter rum candies. I’m addicted to them. Oooooooooo, that’s would be fabulous. Melt butter rum Lifesavers as a layer on your toffee candy. Ya, that sounds real good to me. So, if you figure out how to melt them, and put them in your toffee, please, let me know.

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Oh my goodness! I love heath bars! I never thought I could make my own! Thank you!

[@caitlinharrison7118]

The first candy that my mother had me make. GOD BLESS YOU and Mr. Brown.

[@anderander5662]

We had a neighbor many years ago who made this in southern Oklahoma.... always loved it

[@elainechavez2938]

I sure enjoy watching your channel. I learn so much from you. Thanks for sharing. God bless 💖😊

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you so much!

[@lorettawymbs6936]

Almost missed this video...you look different...like way younger! Land sakes! And we love toffee! LOL!

[@stephaniehartmann250]

Making this again tomorrow! Thank you for sharing this great recipe,Blessed Christmas to you and Mr Brown!🤶🌲🎅

[@pennysue8926]

Hi Mrs. Lori... This is what I'm making as a gift for my mail carriers this year... (2021). They have been working so hard all year around, but especially at the holiday season with all the package deliveries (I am a guilty online shopper). I have made this many times over the years, and it never fails me. I hope they like it... and also will be gifting them a Dunkin' Donuts Gift card as well. Yes... the holidays are the perfect time for making candy. But then again, I don't know exactly when isn't a perfect time for making candy. Thank you for this video (3 years later)!!💜

[@donnamount151]

AMEN to the hershey homemade fudge...takes a while to make and beat but darn it is to die for...😋😋😋

[@traceycook7136]

I can’t wait to try this... I love your videos so much .. I couldn’t get so lucky to have a neighbor like you

[@LS-jh7lb]

I am going to have to try this one more time using your recipe. I made some Toffee a couple of years ago and I live in a very humid climate on the Texas Gulf Coast. Well, it came out chewy. Winter time I'm guessing would be the best. I love your channel and you and your husband are sweet and real.

[@MsSusie1959]

I love candy for sure, hugs n love and many blessings for you two

[@debbiehunter2155]

I love heath bars and this toffee recipe looks yummy!! Thanks for the recipe!!

[@jennyanimal9046]

Sometimes when I'm scrolling on KZbin and i come across your videos just the sound of your voice is calming for my soul. I love you guys. Happy Holidays to you and yours may they be filled with all the joy the Lord will allow. Lolol😂🎉❤🕊️🔥❤️

[@julsjewels3185]

Oh my I have to make this !!! I love Heath Bars and Skor bars. MMMMMMM my mouth is watering. Loved that sneaky hand coming in for a piece!

[@maryshoemaker1437]

That pot!!!! I have one just like it.. my mom got it from her mom... I don’t know where she got it... but that makes it at least 60 yrs old

[@me-xx2gl]

Hi Lori, This toffee looks so delicious and hearing the bit of crunch when I *think* Mr. Brown was munching in it 😉 made it “sound” delicious!! LOL!! And I am looking forward to checking out Hilda’s channel. And I’m looking forward to seeing what Rob at Sapper Gardener makes. He has a great channel. And I am going to watch this video again to listen for the middle channel that you mentioned. Thanks for all the great info!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thanks Mary, the toffee is good, please check out the channels I mentioned, really good people, the 2nd one was Phil n florence, good people, Love ya Mary!

[@MarysNest]

Thanks Lori!! I’ll check out that second channel. I watch all the others. Sapper Gardner is terrific. Such a nice man with a lovely family and great info on gardening!! ❤️😘❤️

[@rolltide2798]

Yummmmm!!! Everything you make looks so fabulous!

[@hootowlholler3760]

Oh my! That looks so good. Who doesn't like homemade toffee. "Off with their heads!" I say❤

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh my gosh, you make me smile all the time! Xoxox

[@ilonacampbell-mihai8076]

Oh my taste buds are adancin’ !

[@chandrawoodward1610]

My husband loves toffee. I make it a bit thinner. I use super dark chocolate and fine chopped pecans and really coat it then sprinkle powdered sugar over it. There's a candy store in Midland, Tx that does it that way and he absolutely loves it. Thanks for sharing!

[@jemmiestone3496]

I am gonna add this Toffee to my Christmas Goody Bags this year. I am always trying to find new candies to put in them. Thank you Ms. Lori. God Bless You and Mr. Brown. Hugggggs

[@william38022]

Looks great I can’t wait to try it,,, my son and I made your milk chocolate marshmallow fudge recently and we loved it I didn’t have walnuts but I had chopped nuts the kind you buy for ice cream and I put a little package of those in place of the walnuts and it was just wonderful next time I will try it with the walnuts,,, I to love toffee I’m sure this recipe will be equally as good thanks for sharing these culinary delights with us,,, I am also a big pie lover my grandmother and my mother used to make pies almost daily when I was a child and I dearly loved them I can’t wait to try some of your pies as well.

[@lindabeisner8692]

Wow does that look delicious! Can't wait to make this! Thank you for the recipe and Happy Holidays!🌲💖🌲

[@user-fd1qb7ml2j]

Good Lord!!!! I love hard toffee!!! Yummmmm! My mom makes peanut brittle since I was little. We made it at church. The church ladies would come in the church kitchen on a mid day during week and I remember them slamming out that toffee hot and boiling onto metal tins. They drank RC cola and made peanut brittle to sell for the church! Hahaha! But I always loved stirring the pot when it was boiling, so i know I can make this for sure! I live heath bars too! Nice recipe Mrs. Lori! God bless!

[@PatNewman1000]

I would like it if you showed the amount of flame you use to get an idea of what you are working over. I love all your videos. And I love your suggestions of others we should watch. Thanks so much!

[@marilynmcclintock2974]

Izzi is my Pomeranian. I am a very recent widow. Dec. 4th we would have been married 64 years. He passed September 16th of this year. Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

I'm so sorry for your loss, I bet Izzi is a cutie, and probably a little spoiled. Thanks for watching, and thank you for your kind words always, xoxoxo

[@GmaAlice]

That looks delicious! You brushing Mr. Brown's hand away was too cute. I can't eat the soft toffee for the same reason you can't. I'm looking forward to trying this hopefully before Christmas. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us! Hope you have a good weekend!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thanks Alice! it's really good toffee, Merry Christmas, xoxo

[@ritabrunetti381]

This recipe looks easy enough. Just today I made a peppermint/ white chocolate bark. A recipe from Paula Deen. I appreciate the time you take out of your life to share your recipes and family stories. Merry Christmas!! I saw you... hello Mr. Brown.

[@hellenjones5129]

I do a similar to this but only I put a layer of saltine crackers before pouring the caramel but I never did the nuts I’m gonna try that next time. ... those old pens are priceless I have one that belong to my granny they don’t make them like that anymore.. you are becoming my favorite channel

[@renacraft7001]

This is one of my favorites!!! Your looks so yummy!!! God bless...

[@lorihouchin9861]

Looks yummy I need a candy thermometer 🌡 I’m definitely saving this and when I get it will play this video again 👍🏻💕

[@kimezman8697]

Miss Lori, I'll be making your toffee tomorrow. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@Imahappygirl25]

I just made this and I'm waiting for them to cool. I've been absolutely TERRIFIED of making toffee my whole adult life and you made it so easy! If you have a praline recipe I'd love it if you did a video on that. Thank you so much ❤️

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh I hope it turned out for you! Praline , yes I do, thank you , Merry Christmas !

[@Imahappygirl25]

@@WhippoorwillHoller it turned out beautifully 🤗❤️

[@elizabethshaw734]

I make candy for a living right now and many people ask me why the Karo syrup or corn syrup. The reason is that it is insurance against your candy crystallizing. If you don't think that you can stir the inside of the pot with a wet brush to get the crystals down just put a lid on and that will create steam that will drop the crystals into the pot. :-). My most favorite candy is almond or pecan butter toffee without the chocolate so I sell it both ways with the chocolate and without the chocolate.

[@02271953me]

I might have to make a batch. I know it smells so good and tastes even better. Subscribed to Helga's channel. Can't wait to see what she has cooking over there. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Helga is a awesome cook!

[@irishdivajeffries6668]

This recipe looks crazy good! I’m making it right now!

[@pittroadsixzeroseven]

Love your beautiful measuring spoons.

[@sherrieanorman2816]

I love Heath bars too. Have you tried almonds on top?

[@ms.tep_]

Funny seeing Mr. Brown's hand trying to snatch a piece lol

[@heidistetler4618]

Well Ms. Lori..I dunno if I can wait till the holidays to make this. I believe I will make some and take it to my momma the first of October. She's up in Montana and doesn't get these nice things where she lives. Thank you so much! She's gonna love it, and I love you!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you Heidi, tell mama I said hi! Xoxoxo

[@deniseview4253]

Yum. So simple to make. Yep, good gift at Christmas.

[@gamingclipz7309]

So happy I found your videos!! My mom and I watch together!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you!

[@kayrogers9352]

My thermometer says hard crack is 300 - 310 degrees. I’ve made toffee for years using that temperature. I may make it using the 290 degrees just to see the difference. I also use salted cashews instead of pecans. Thanks for the video. Love your channel.

[@sherrieanorman2816]

Oh my goodness... YUMMY!!!

[@SuffolkSusie]

Such a beautiful opening shot. I could use a nice thick pot. Looks like a great recipe 👍👍 I'm looking forward to getting some time off this Christmas so I can cook and bake. I'd like to give this one a try☺

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

I find my pots at flea markets, and second hand stores, there old, but there cheap and work well, sounds like your like me, work keeps you busy! God Bless. Merry Christmas.

[@beyesh3760]

Awesome. Will make later tonite. Merry Christmas 🎄☃️

[@journeygirl_2010]

I just love toffee it's my absolute favorite candy in the world. ❤

[@annbrown4110]

I love toffee but it was always way too scary to try to make. But I think I can do it now, thanks to you!

[@conniebarber4582]

Thank you so much for this candy recipe!! It looks so good!! I have got to try this and hopefully I’ll have some good Christmas gifts this year!! God bless you Miss Lori and your sweet hubby and your channel.

Have looked for a good toffee recipe. I've added this to my candy recipe collection. Thankyou.

[@kathycolson6910]

I absolutely love watching your videos you guys are the greatest

[@GrannyGrice]

I love Heath Bars! They are my favorite! Thanks! Now i have to find a heavy bottom pot to cook with!

[@laurielyon1892]

Oh my word! I love heath candy bars and that's pretty much what this is. Oh I have to to do this! I just have to get some Karo syrup. I've never bought or used that before, but if it will let me make this...it will be worth the money.

[@constancetoole9410]

I just love toffee & chocolate & pecans !!! Yours looks so very yummy !!! 🤗🤗

[@GinaOzarks]

I’ve never made candy. I’ve always wanted to try. I’m going to use this recipe and hopefully it will come out good. Be blessed. ❤️

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Hope you enjoy

[@rabaile1]

WHOA, NELLIE! Guess what I'm eating right now? HOMEMADE TOFFEE, cooked to the HARD-CRACK stage, then poured out in a JELLY ROLL PAN (even though I don't even know what a jelly roll pan is). I can't believe it turned out! :o) I had to sneak a piece even before the chocolate has cooled all the way, to see if it turned out. Man, I'm feeling pretty SMUG right now. :o) I'll take this to church Sunday for fellowship. Thanks a million! Annette

[@TexasGabby1]

For a bit of difference - line your jellyroll pan with saltine crackers so the bottom is covered - pour your toffee (sugar butter mix) over the crackers then your chocolate chips and then nuts - let cool and then you can break up in sized piece that you like.....yum

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Oh yes, I've ate that before, very good!, xoxoxo

[@sandyclaus2729]

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm looks delish! I make something called Cracker Crack. Lol it is soooo easy to make that. It taste like a heath bar. Trisha Yearwood showed how to make it on one of her shows and I've been making it ever since. At Christmas, I put walnuts or pecans on some, and broken candy cane pieces crushed on the other. It looks just like your toffee.

[@idahofarmgal2331]

Hoo, Ms. Lori, you're killin me! That's one of my FAVORITE candies but my numbers are too high right now and I'm tryin to avoid insulin. No noms for me right now but yours looks SO GOOD!

[@tinyclark7277]

It looks yum and not too hard....your cookie monster knows how to grab the goods....lol....

[@collenrose3957]

Gotta try this one too. But I can’t have nuts so I’ll leave them off. Merry Christmas. ❤️🙏🏼🤗🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼
