All this talk about the holidays comes with mixed feelings. Part of me screams that it is waaay too soon to even think about it yet when I look at the calendar, it is right around the corner.
The blogsters yahoo group that I belong to has issued the challenge of posting a favorite recipe.
A favorite memory is spending days making holiday cookies and candies. Some recipes were very complicated and others, oh-so-simple.
Here is one of my all time favorites to make and to receive. It falls into that simple category.
English Toffee
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
Over medium heat combine ingredients and stir constantly until mixture turns brown.
Pour into a foil lined jelly roll pan.
Top with:
4 oz. melted chocolate
1/2 cup chopped nuts of your choice. (optional)
When cool and chocolate is solid, crack and enjoy!
Do not substitute the butter for margarine. It's just no where near as good. Salted nuts are simply yummy and add striking contrast to the sweetness.
