Nancy’s English Toffee

Dec 10, 2011 by

I never realized how ridiculous toffee was.  I always knew how ridiculously addictive and amazing it was, but I never realized how ridiculous the ingredients were.  You are boiling sugar and butter…  no wonder I love it so much.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salted butter (no substitutions!!)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups whole almonds
  • 2 jumbo Hershey chocolate bars
Directions
Melt butter, sugar and almonds in a pan over low-medium heat.  Stir mixture continuously until toffee reaches 300-305 degrees.  Pour Toffee onto a greased cookie pan.  Place chocolate on top of hot toffee.  Spread out chocolate with a spatula, sprinkle leftover chopped almonds on top and allow to dry for a few hours before breaking apart.

Put butter and sugar in a pan over low-medium heat.

Add almonds.

 Stir the toffee mixture constantly while bringing to 300-305 degrees.  Above is what the toffee looks like throughout the cooking process.   ** Remember to continuously stir to not burn the toffee.

Rolo Pretzel Turtles

Jun 22, 2011 by

These amazing Rolo Pretzel Turtles were discovered by my mother a few years back.  Now if you are a Rolo fan then you need to try this little treat.  They are super easy to make and extremely delicious.  I usually make them in the fall/winter for family gatherings and parties but I had a craving and I couldn’t help myself.  I repeat SUPER EASY.  Only 3 ingredients are needed Rolos, pretzels and pecans.  My only warning is stand by the oven when they are cooking, they only take a few minutes and find a friend to help you unwrap the Rolos.

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Spread out small mini pretzels on a parchment lined cookie sheet (I used square pretzels)

Place Rolo on top of a small mini pretzel (I always cut the Rolo in half so I can eat more)

Bake for 4 minutes

While candy is warm press a pecan on top of the Rolo (see picture, instead of pecans you can also use m&m’s, walnuts, almonds… get creative)
