This toffee, which can be made without any guesswork in a matter of minutes, is by far the most popular holiday treat I produce. If I don’t have a few batches with me, my family won’t let me in the house. When packaged in a festive tin, it makes a fantastic present!

Reviews
The salad dressing is delicious! I combined soy milk with fresh squeezed lemon juice and let that sit 10 minutes in lieu of buttermilk. I used vegan mayonnaise and vegan sour cream. My meat eater husband used it up as dip and said “dang” when I asked him to try it. Next time I’ll at least double the quantities for the dressing. Thanks for the nice recipe!
The veggie combination is perfect – makes about 8 servings. I used ranch dressing I had just made up, instead of the recipe dressing. It was refreshing and tasty.
This is delicious. I increased the sour cream and mayonnaise and halved the buttermilk and lemon juice for a very tasty dip. But either way there is so much flavor with the fresh herbs.
