This English Toffee Recipe is so SUPER, SUPER SIMPLE and it only requires 4 ingredients! This is my absolute favorite candy! If I could only eat one candy this would be it!
Out of all of our Christmas Candies, this 4 Ingredient English Toffee recipe is my absolute favorite Christmas candy recipe! This easy English toffee has a wonderful crunch with a nutty caramely flavor and a hint of chocolate. It’s great to include in a party dish with other tasty Christmas candies. Mmmm, I’m tempted to go make some now!
I see recipes all over for English toffee but those recipes include saltine crackers in them. Toffee is so super simple to make why would you waste a glorious candy like that by adding crackers?
Here is our English Toffee recipe from volume 1 of our cookbook. Try it and you will wonder why you never made it from scratch before!
English Toffee Recipe
1 cup nuts, chopped (pecans or walnuts are best) *
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Butter an 8×8 inch pan. Spread the nuts in the bottom of the pan. On medium heat, bring the sugar and butter to a boil and boil 7 minutes. Spread into the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Let it sit a few minutes. When melted, spread evenly. Let cool before cracking into pieces. Makes 24 pieces.
*Variations:

Old Fashioned Homemade Fudge Recipe
This is not only super easy but tastes great as well. I’m making more but adding crushed peppermint candy to it this time.
If I double the recipe, do I double the time for cooking?
Terry it probably would be better to make two separate batches because some of these cooked candies don’t do quite as good when you double them.
Why did my butter and brown sugar mixture turn dark when heating up?
You may have had the heat too high (it needs to be cooked on a medium heat) or cooked it to long and it started burning.
Can this recipe be doubled? If so, how long do I bowl?
No it is best not to double it or most cooked candies.
