Comes out perfectly on the first try. V. tasty over ice cream. -
Works perfectly! I'd double the ingredients next time to make much more.... No trouble with over-foaming like other reviewers of hokey pokey/cinder toffee - but then again I used a tall sided pan. Found silicone paper ideal for lining the tray.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
