It's easier just to remember toffee is a one to one ratio of butter to sugar. So 2 cups sugar , 2 cups butter, then 6 tbsp water and 2 tsp vanilla. This will make a 13x9 pan of candy. Also it is easier to mix your toasted nuts into the caramel just before pouring onto your pan, then sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the candy and let it sit for 5 min then spread chocolate with an offset spatula. Putting the chocolate on the bottom is messy and doesn't spread evenly. Hope this helps.

[@lynnries7729]

The toffee recipe I use calls for 2 cups of sugar to 1 pound of butter. I mix the nuts into the candy before pouring out. It makes the toffee a bit more tender to chew and it toasts the nuts too.

[@iwillrocknroll4eva]

Where did you get your candy thermometer, please? I need an easy read one & I like yours! I'm going to make this!

[@judywyatt4790]

She used two sticks, that is half a pound to one cup of sugar. Same same.

[@leevons_home_vids]

I feel like that would be swimming in butter and not set right haha

[@moviemakerwannabe]

Don't throw away the almond or pecan fines. They make a good gluten free pie crust.

[@NuclearMango.]

I think it would be delicious to add a very thin sprinkle of Kosher salt on top for a salted caramel taste. I honestly can't wait to try this for our family Christmas get together. We always just do finger foods and appetizers. This will be a perfect addition to the desert table.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Great idea!

[@ramonaritz7815]

Yummy and I'm going to do it!👍

[@karencronin9502]

I use flaked salt. Yummy!

[@lolaottinger3038]

Last year when I made toffee I used slivered almonds, the result was the most beautiful toffee I’ve ever made. Tasted good too….

[@mermaidstears4897]

My granny’s recipe was soooo easy-a cup of butter, a cup of sugar, stir it constantly over a medium high heat just until it started to smoke, then pour it in your buttered pan. Her instruction was that it should take under five minutes from start to finish! Lol

[@laurreneberry3480]

I've made candy since I was 12 .this recipe looks fun to make and enjoy.

[@harrietlivengood6793]

Mmm mmm! That looks so delicious! I think I like this just as good as peanut brittle. 😋

[@belindadunne4312]

Yum, I want a bite of that😊. 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@amymccann8760]

I love your channel! I make this every year for the holidays. My mom loved Heath and Skor bars and this is so similar. I always put the toppings on the top. The chocolate melts immediately and it's easy to spread, then I sprinkle on the nuts. I'm going to try it your way next time. I like that you had chocolate in the middle.

[@tracyfox466]

Ahhh! What a great lil hack of straining the chopped nuts where you are getting more of the bigger pieces of the nuts in the toffee. That is such a clever tip! Why didn’t I think of that?!🤦‍♀️ Thanks so much for the tip and your toffee looks delicious!😋😍❤️

[@Pamela_Gram]

This is a for sure on my candy making list for this year. I have to make candy for two different get-togethers spaced a week apart. This is perfect for both. Thanks so much for posting.

[@genayates7335]

Funny I have made this many times and I never added the chocolate in with the nuts . I always added the choc chips to the top of toffee and it melts on the top of toffee and I spread it and then add chopped almonds on the top . This looks a little easier and maybe better . I’ll try it . Also , she ain’t kidding when she says go fast from the stove to pouring it in the pan . Never take your eye off that toffee on the stove top ….or will burn and separate in a split second .

[@McBernes]

I bet the pecan side is so good! I love pecans in desserts. In fact my favorite dessert is chocolate pecan pie. I sitting here trying to remember if I have enough butter in the fridge too lol. It's just as well if I don't, I know I don't have any pecans. Looks like I might be making a trip to the store tomorrow.

[@leewillers4621]

Yummy! I love toffee! Thanks Tammy!

[@marylandmonroe]

Oh, my goodness. I want a bite of that!

[@debbiechaney6607]

Representing my hometown, Monroe! These look decadent!

[@leevons_home_vids]

My best friend and i had fun this evening making your toffee, to put in some tins, and following along to your video. We atarted off with a double batch as i had a good amount of walnuts and chocolate chips thinking that would have been perect. I didnt realize how much the toffee settles down into the gaps and prevents you from spreading it around very much. I ended up having to make a single batch to top it off. Also retried your fudge recipe again adding chocolate chips in at the end instead of mixing cocoa into the sugar and that worked so well.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Awesome!

[@francesmorgan6397]

Thanks for the receipe

[@daisybee1439]

[@gennyguidry865]

Hi Tammy thanks you for sharing this with me ❤❤❤❤😊

[@voncieletaylor8621]

I have found using the cheapest margin works best. We like adding the nuts into the mixture before spreading it into a buttered pan and omitting the chocolate .❤❤

[@ummahmedca]

What is margin?

[@lisab6352]

I'm making some of that! Love your channel.

[@THE-COOL-GIRL-CHANNEL]

Lady You Rock 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@darlaredsnowbird5304]

Also, I put Hershey chocolate bars in a food processor....make sure the chocolate is kept in refrigerator or freezer until you put in food processor

[@josiekoll3988]

Hurry up! Games coming on soon. Chris needs to get to the TV!

[@timothyortiz5286]

Why didn't you make it all at once the topping?

[@nancyfasolino7607]

Candy thermometer is key! Making this for the holidays

[@glendastouffer1470]

All you need to do to make spreading easier is dip your spreader in water. Works everytime!

[@eileenrankin9584]

it would be nice if you gave the actual temperatures for the stages of the cooked toffee.

[@janbond8460]

Oh my. This looks delicious!

[@ginabadeaux9319]

oh i made this many years ago i want to make some this year,thank you ,i love you and your videos

[@karendixon401]

Looks absolutely delicious!! ❤ Will definitely make this!!

[@teresamoscatiello]

This morning I made your chocolate pie filling but I cooked it on the stove and put it in a graham cracker crust😊 with some whipped cream.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Sounds great!

[@leaannebrummett9159]

Never made this but going to give it a go. My grannie always made rock candy. Have you ever made it?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I haven't

[@donnastratton8397]

My momma made it for years around Christmas and sold it. People could not get enough of it. I've made it several times. Cinnamon is my favorite flavor.

[@titasmom678]

Looks delicious.

[@jodybruch829]

You doubled the toffee❤️❤️❤️. I love your kitchen,😍

[@debbielovins4970]

That looks delicious!!

[@robinshipmanlotz6305]

Looks so yummy!

[@tonipartington5245]

Watching On You Tube On TV.

[@pamelapelech3249]

Just made it. Waiting for it to cool to break apart for exchange gift tonight.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@JudithBrummett]

this looks great but it is upside down from how I have always made it. lol I spread it in my pan then top with the nuts and chocolate. The chocolate gets melty and soft enough to spread. I will have to try it this way

[@Nerophiliac]

That's what I have always done too. I think it's easier.

[@sharonpults1177]

Looks so good!

[@cathyprosser1050]

What is it about crunchy stuff that's SO addictive 😂?? Boy, does that look good. ❤

[@joshuarouth2406]

That looks so good

[@VMaryPoetry]

Mmm 😋

[@pennywest-hagan7524]

Wonderful! ❤

[@karenlehn2351]

Can’t wait to make some !

[@margiecavalier5191]

Great dude!!!

[@normaesteva3698]

Yummylicious, Ms. Tammy.

[@henrycooks1883]

Your making that and I am saying to myself that is no where near enough toffee to cover all that, someone could just try a half sheet pan and follow your directions from the cookbook, if they want to make a small batch. That stuff is so addictive.

[@kathrynreed9724]

It did look good. I will make this recipe this year. Thanks Tammy.

[@MsNolaJean1]

I always double the recipe but I like it a little thicker.

[@gailcrews8606]

Tammy it looks Yummy😋❤️🎄

[@barbaramurphy6680]

Thank You Tammy ❤ God bless you and your family ❤

[@jenjoy3215]

I love toffee. I used to make it all the time so I could recreate Dairy Queen Blizzards. Time to make it again. Don’t know why you don’t mix the nuts in the candy and then pour in the pan? I’m going to top with a dab of chocolate chips while hot but firming up.
