English Toffee Bars image

Meet the Cook: My mother and I get together every year around Christmastime to make this delicious chocolate-coated toffee, using a recipe she got years ago in a cooking class. It's a tradition I plan to continue with my daughters and grandchildren. Our families and friends wait with mouths watering for their packages. -Dianne Brooks, Augusta, Kansas

The toffee bars were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I would add a little more flour next time.

I found that these toffee bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

The chocolate ganache is the perfect complement to the toffee. It's rich and creamy, and it really takes these bars to the next level.
