My family loved the toffee. I personally don't care for chocolate and the nuts, so I made it plain and it was delicious. Thanks for a yummy and absolutely simple recipe.

Excellent recipe..this was my first attempt at making candy and it was a big success. Thanks banad for a great recipe. Thanks also to the raters who gave good tips also. Will probably make another batch for my daughter's teachers tomorrow :-)

FANTASTIC! I've been looking for a recipe like this for years - FINALLY! Tastes great! I omitted the nuts cause no one likes them and did not have any problems. Thank you for sharing!
