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!
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 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!
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:
- White Chocolate with Macadamia Nuts (not cheap but to die for!)
- Dark Chocolate with Almonds

Great recipe– just about foolproof! The only note I would like to share is that it’s probably best to pour the toffee mixture into the corners first– much easier than trying to tip the pan around to get the toffee over all those nooks and crannies created by the layer of nuts! Thanks, ladies! :)
Could you use a double boiler for sugar & butter?
