English Toffee

English Toffee is delicious, but oh so hard to make. I think anyway!!

There are several things one needs...like a good heavy sauce pan. And a reliable candy thermometer.

And one can't forget patience!! It's a lot of stirring and waiting.

BUT when it all comes together...wow...what a delicious candy!
