Here is our version of English Toffee From our Dining On A Dime Cookbook. Try it and you will wonder why you never made it from scratch before!

Old Fashioned Homemade Fudge Recipe
I made this toffee and it had so much oil I had to dump it out so the toffee could harden and while I was cooking the butter and brown sugar it started smelling burnt with 3 minutes left on simmer stage.
Not sure what happened. Some stoves cook hotter than others or you had the burner on too high. There could have been a couple of different things that could have happened.
I made this today.
Great recipe..
