How would you recommend storing toffee or any homemade candy? I find the chocolate doesn’t do well in the refrigerator.
Loved this recipe!! I’ve never made toffee before but decided to try it. I took it to work and everyone LOVED it!!
I’m so glad you liked it! 🙂
What type of sea salt did you use coarse and run through grinder or just coarse?
Thank you this is a great recipe. Only thing I changed was a couple drops of vanilla extract due to using salted butter. Great to know I can make this quite cheaply whenever I need
I would love some help troubleshooting. I was stirring quickly, constantly with a heat-safe silicone spoon but the butter kept separating and at the end I had hard caramel swimming in butter. Where did I go wrong?
I read on another recipe that you have to use room temperature butter, not cold butter or it will separate!!! Â Hope this helps!!
