A holiday favorite of ours is English Toffee. Usually right after Thanksgiving we begin making a batch and continue to make several batches throughout the week. We eat a lot and share some. This is one thing we give to our neighbors and friends around the holidays. Super simple recipe and super yummy.
2 cubes of butter (that is why it is so yummy)
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
melt butter, add sugar and water and stir until combined do not stir after that
bring to boil on medium heat (never stirring or it will turn sugary)
cook to 300 degrees hard crack stage (use a candy thermometer)
pour out on a large Texas cookie sheet lined with tin foil do not scrape pan
cover with favorite chocolate (I prefer dark chocolate Parker likes milk choc.)
and chopped almonds
enjoy.
To note we have already made it two times and have not given any away(doesn't last long enough). The kids have enjoyed it in their lunches, after school, and, of course before, breakfast.
When I was little we would make this several times during the Christmas Season. It would not be the holidays without English Toffee.

Mmmmm, thanks for the recipe. I might just try some. Your kids look so grown up playing their instruments. Maybe they'll have to bring them to Pendleton and put on a special Spratling concert!
Ummm.....I don't really remember you ever making that while you lived here. Guess I'll be waiting for mine in the mail. Thanks in advance.
Yes, me too Nat. I don't ever remember it! But, I too will be waiting for mine in the mail to try.
