I was looking for a new toffee recipe because I am having trouble with the one I usually make and came across this one. It turned out great! I will be using for gifts for my husbands coworkers. I let the butter and sugar just come to a boil and had no problem with the butter separating. I put in fridge and then the freezer (I was in a hurry) for a bit and then broke into pieces and had no trouble peeling it off of the aluminum foil. Very yummy, I am trying no to eat it all myself. I am going to try the graham cracker version too.

These are great! I first had these several years ago at a neighbor's house. She called them Chocolate Soda Rocas. They are not really a cookie, but a brittle. No matter what you call them they are fantastic -- I love the saltiness from the crackers combined with the sweet. A faulous recipe to make around the holidays -- everyone is very impressed and they are very easy to make. UPDATE: I used sliced almonds in place of walnuts. Also, I sprayed the foil with cooking spray, let the mixture cool, then broke it into irregular pieces. Friends have recommended broken candy cans as a topping at the holidays, but I have not tried that. Love this recipe!
