ReplyDelete(the seafoam I made is hidden in my undies drawer!)
Oh this looks so good! If I can squeeze in time between all the cookies and cake I need to bake in the next 2 days, I'll make a batch of this too. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletei have made THREE batches of this, and not one came out perfect :-(. They all had a grainy texture, and were not clear. Then I noticed your recipe calls for water and corn syrup, mine did not. I was also told after the fact, that when you begin stirring to incorporate it, dont take the spoon out, lay it down, and continue stirring, because there will be sugar crystals on it that taint the rest of the pot. Grainy texture aside, it still tastes pretty good, but VERY sweet! Merry Christmas, love your blog :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE toffee! Thanks for the recipe! My Mama used to make it all the time, and peanut brittle too, but I never mastered either of them. Your recipe sounds so much easier! I will definately be trying this out.
ReplyDeleteTania, have a great Christmas! May it be filled with many blessings!
I am so glad that you posted this, because I lost my recipe, and yours seems easier than mine!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!
That looks delicious! I'm with you....how can we get rid of those calories?!
ReplyDeleteNow I wish I had seen this before I made toffee crisps!!
ReplyDeleteI want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!
Can someone also make my diabetic numbers stay normal when I eat these? :) They look fantastic! Merry Christmas to you and yours, dear friend, and have a safe and healthy New Year! xxoo
