Fabulous flavor - my first time making candy and it wasn't as bad as I thought! Everyone loved this - I think I want to try it with butterscotch chips next on one side to compliment the chocolate - the cinnamon was a delightful pairing!! Thanks for a terrific recipe, Rita!!

I made this twice as I think I goofed up the first time when I chilled the pan of toffee in the freezer, causing the layers to not want to stay together. The second time, I let the toffee set at room temperature and then the layers stayed put when broken into pieces. Either way, this stuff is delicious and addictive and both pans got eaten up....you just have to hold the layers together on the one that was frozen LOL. Crunchy and yummy, we loved the cinnamon chip layer!! Thanks for posting this Rita, it's a keeper :)
