Soft Crunch Buttery Toffee Candy

[@mamawoo9383]

I've watched a lot of videos over 3 days & by far this video is the best...The other videos in order to make this you had to stand, don't stop stirring & turn the heat down then repeat then repeat & repeat ..I don't know about anyone else but I'm disabled & i just can't stand & continuely be stirring... I was about to stop looking until i seen "Southern Glance With Gail" & I thought ok this will be my last video I'll watch....Gail I was amazed on how you make it so easy to make & those others were just wasting their energy...ill soon be making this & I'll let you know how it turned out... Thanks a Million.....🤠

These are some of my favorites to make. Butter makes a HUGE difference with this recipe. Do get a higher quality butter. I'm using Land O' Lakes butter. Thanks for your comment!

[@theresaparnell3977]

How did you resist having a bite at the end of the recipe. I was drooling, not a good look! Thank you for this recipe. Will be making this for Christmas period. ❤

[@faridaaminy9734]

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

You are so welcome! We love this toffee. Let me know how you like it!

[@johnellebaker3725]

My cousin Max made this at Christmas and it was the best i ever ate! So good.

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Oh, I am so glad you like them! Thanks for letting me know!

[@countrylivers]

I can’t wait to try it! I love toffee and I make this the regular way during the holidays. But I would love to try your “soft crunch” version also. And Totally off topic…but your kitchen is Fabulous with all the red decor. So festive at Christmas time, but a look that can totally go all year round.

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Thank you! I hope you make this toffee. Please let me know how it turned out. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Merry Christmas!

[@jeffegan9388]

My local candy shop makes this and I would treat myself to some around the holidays but the other day when I went by they raised the price to $56 a pound I’m going to try this and make it myself.

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

I know what you mean. Prices are so high right now, and it is definitely cheaper to make your goodies. Do get a high quality butter. I find the cheaper butters have more liquid content. I'm using Land O' Lakes for my cooking. Let me know how they turn out. Oh, last night, I just made the gingerbread cookies. They are SO soft! I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

[@jeffegan9388]

@@southernglancewithgail7945 thanks for the tip. I will use Cabot butter as it’s what I sell in my store. If all goes well I’m going to make this tomorrow if it’s not raining out. I’ll let you know. Thanks for the recipe.

[@lmb4453]

I love your enthusiasm for this, Gail! Looks so good!

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Thank you, LeAnn. It really is wonderfully delicious! I hope you are doing well!

[@elaineb1409]

Just watched your video. Very well done. I'm going to make some toffee for coffee hour at church. Going to do it for Valentine's Day.

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Thank you! Good luck with your toffee. The tip I have for you is to make sure you use good butter and if the butter begins to separate, stir to get it together again. Then only stir every once in a while. Let me know how you like it.

[@tajamahal30]

Great job. You explain things so well. I'm subscribed

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Thank you so much! Let me know if you make any of the recipes and how they turn out for you!

[@yookoy]

I’m excited to try this. I made some that I cooked to 300 like most of the recipes and it was too hard. I like a softer crunch:)

[@melaniebolton1085]

Just the easy recipe I've been looking for. Thanks Gail!!

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

You are so welcome. I will be making these sometime this week. They are so good and not too hard. Also, if you want something super easy but super good, try the Crockpot Chocolate Covered Peanuts. They are the simplest of all simple. I keep them in the refrigerator. Anyway, let me know how these turn out for you. Merry Christmas!

[@poppywilliams8404]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!! I'm so ready for a softer toffee! You just kicked me um...to the delish zone! Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way. Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions!

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Happy New Year to you, too, Poppy! Thanks for your comment. I hope you enjoy these sweet treats. Let me know if you try them and what you think. Best wishes to you in southern Georgia!

[@amandajones6481]

Dear Mrs Gail, thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe for crunchy butter toffee. I used to have a recipe for this but I lost it, so I'm very glad that I found your channel. I'm Australian and, of course, we celebrate Christmas in the middle of summer, so I make this buttery crunchy toffee and then I break it up into pieces and fold them through a quart of good quality bought vanilla ice cream. Then I spoon it into a large loaf pan or pudding basin lined with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer to keep until I serve it on Christmas day with a Caramel and Brandy Sauce. It's yummy and everyone seems to like it. Your recipe is definitely the best one I've found. Love and gratitude from Amanda Jones in Melbourne. xox ❤️

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I am so glad you found the recipe and it brought back good memories!

[@vickiestephens8889]

Yummy

[@ren-chats]

I stirred mine like I normally do when making caramel. The toffee is grainy and not hardening correctly. Still tasted good.

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

I wonder if you over stirred. I'm saying this because I made some caramel sauce for dipping apples and stirred the whole time with a whisk. Mine turned out grainy as well. Mine has never come out grainy like that. So, I think I over stirred it, and that made it grainy. So, I made some of this Soft Crunch Butter Toffee, and it came out wonderful. Here is what I did. I followed my instructions, but my butter started to get more watery. I stirred and stirred just until the butter was mixed in good, and then I stopped stirring all the time. I only stirred every once in a while. When it was done, I poured the mixture into the pan and had forgotten to put in the vanilla. While the mixture was in the pan, I added the vanilla and gently stirred until the vanilla was all stirred in. Then, I followed the directions again. Turned out wonderful. Oh, I did use Land O Lakes butter and not the cheaper butter. Hope this helps. Good luck in the future. Let me know how it turns out the next time.

[@nancybrake5004]

We used to make this! Sometimes with pecans instead of almonds. Always yummy!

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Pecans sound good also!

[@mistiinseattle]

looks soooooo good!!!

[@sucrebaba2656]

روعة 😘😘👌

[@paulgoodner2687]

What about brown sugar? Would that work? I wonder what taste difference that would make.

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

Brown sugar would definitely change things in the recipe, especially if you only use brown sugar and not any other sugar. I have just never tried brown sugar before in this recipe, and that would be an interesting experiment. If you try using brown sugar, please let me know how you like it.

[@countrylivers]

It would Definitely change the taste! Brown sugar is just white sugar with MOLASSES added to it! The molasses taste would overwhelm and take over any buttery toffee taste.

Adjust this for elevation: For every 1000 feet subtract 2 degrees.

[@southernglancewithgail7945]

The elevation where I live is around 1299 feet. Also, make sure you use really good butter. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
