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.

THE BEST ENGLISH TOFFEE
I had originally made a zaar recipe, but then realized I had made a HUGE mistake and it turned out FANTASTIC. The toffee has the best soft crunch. I made it again correctly and it was not as good, so with the mistake I think I can call it my own now??
