Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Always use fresh butter, cream, and chopped nuts for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the toffee: The toffee should be cooked until it reaches a light golden brown color. If it is overcooked, it will be too hard and brittle.
  • Let the toffee cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the toffee from sticking to the knife and will give you clean, even cuts.
  • Store the toffee bars in an airtight container at room temperature: The toffee bars will keep for up to 2 weeks stored this way.

English toffee bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
