Tip #1
Test your thermometer in boiling water. If the water boils at a temperature other than 212°F, adjust the temperature accordingly.
Tip #2
If your toffee separates during cooking, carefully and slowly add 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir constantly until mixture goes back together.
Tip #3
Recipe makes 2 1/4 pounds.
Tip #4
Toasting nuts before adding to a recipe intensifies their flavor. Toast nuts in an ungreased skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. To oven-toast, place in baking pan. Bake at 350°F, 5-7 minutes. Watch closely.
Tip #5
If using an electric stove, don't reduce heat.
