I didn’t make it, my daughter did and I can tell you this is YUMMY and you’ll keep going back for more. We all did!!
Love this recipe!!! Make sure to note it is 1 CUP butter, not 1 cube. I tried making in the microwave, but couldn’t see it as it’s above the stove, so had to keep opening the door to look. I ended up burning it, and started over, cooking on the stovetop, where I had more control. I sprinkled heath pieces on after spreading the chocolate. Yummm!!!
Love it, so easy!
This is also called Crack and for good reason, it’s hard to stop eating once you’ve tasted the first bite! I also us white chocolate and sprinkles to add variety.
I used chopped walnuts, once I realized that all the almonds and pecans were used in a salad earlier this week! Worked out good anyway. Longer time in the freezer was called for, about 1 hour or more. Delicious recipe!
I liked it ! the way salt and sweet are mixed turns out great !
Very easy holiday treat. My family was laughing at me when I told them what was in it. They are not laughing now…they are asking me to make more. Yummy!
Beautiful recipes quick and amazing! I do suggest that you melt the butter and sugar in microwave in 1 minute intervals 3 times stirring with whisk after each minute. It takes the guesswork out if you have cooked it enough. I found 6 minutes in the oven was perfect. If you don’t cook it enough it becomes chewy. Make sure you use a larger bowl at least a 4 Cup size 8 cup bow is better because it does foam up to double the size on the 3rd time. I learned the hard way.
Its not Christmas without a batch or two of this! Addicting and delicious!
Made it with the grandkids years ago. This year they said thy were craving my toffee. Back to the kitchen I go!
Cannot stop eating this…. Heavenly. Instead of almonds I also took peppermint candy canes, crushed them and sprinkled on top… Delicious
Fabulous recipe. I add coconut to it for a little extra flavor. It is awesome!! Makes great gifts.
tastes lovely was surprised as it was crackers. just dont burn the toffee the smoke goes crazy and it keeps cooking in the pan for ages and it smells like rubber not pleasant. great after the second attempt
I make at least 3 pans of this every Christmas! So easy and fast. When you need something special, this is your recipe. Use a candy thermometer. I think it takes all the guess work out of it. Use good chocolate chips! If you use cheap ones they will not melt properly. The one thing I changed was to use milk chocolate. It’s not as rich I think. I just pulled another pan out of the oven. Mmmmm thank you for this recipe! Beats the heck out of spending 2 hours mixing and baking cookies. And everyone I’ve given it to can’t stop eating it!
I used butterscotch chips & milk chocolate chips wen I made this recipe… holiday sprinkles make it festive too for the Christmas season!
fast easy and tastes great!
Very easy! Very tasty! I use mini chocolate chips since they melt faster.
Turned out great and so easy to make. It’s a large batch enough to share with my grown son. He ate about a third of his before he brought the rest home to “share” with his family. This is definitely a keeper.
Taste came out good. I followed the directions as stated, but next time will increase Carmel temp to hard crack stage. I was informed by husbands work buddies Carmel was too soft. Using white chocolate with mashed peppermint sticks or m&m’s on next batch. I will update.
Very buttery and sweet. If I were to make it again I would try to cut the butter to 3/4 C and I definitely recommend adding some sea salt to the chocolate or warm toffee. It needs salt to balance the sweet.
Really good and easy to make! I would love to make this again. Thank you!
