Submitted by Goat mom

"This recipe is from a Holiday Pillsbury Company coupon flier from 1986, I still have the original. There were multiple recipes but this one has been made every year since with Christmas baking. If you like toffee you will adore this. I've never had anyone not come back for more. Enjoy."

This was a snap to make, even for a cook-in-training like me! I've enjoyed these at Christmas for years, but this was the first time I'd tried making them myself : ) We will enjoy eating these with some hot cocoa when we get back from sledding tonight. Thanks Goat mom! (Who also happens to be my mom too!)
