Submitted by lisar

"If you like to make Toffee this is a great recipe and idea thats different for gift giving. My dearest friend gave this to me last year and I begged for the recipe. To be honest though, I have never had the knack for making toffee, but I know this recipe works, because its works for her. Check it out."
