English Toffee

Description

This candy tastes wonderful and takes about 15 minutes to make. My sister and I did three batches in an hour one year for Christmas. I use a cast iron skillet and some times just a few of the almonds to help gauge the readiness.

  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
