Hi Jinnie! Candy can be tough so don’t be too hard on yourself. I would recommend going a little lower no your heat next time. Your medium might be a little more powerful than mine.

Well, I must be a fool because mine got slightly scorched. I went slowly, but I did turn the heat to medium while cooking. I think next time I’ll cook it at a little lower temperature. I’m sure I’ll get better results!

I tried it again and turned the heat up to med and it came out fine. I guess I had it on too low before. weird

We are so sorry to hear this, Marya! 😕 Candy can be so temperamental. Was it a particularly humid day when you made the toffee? Using a thin pan or not stirring often can also cause this.

I made this recipe today (12/22/2023). Your recipe is so easy to follow and this is the best toffee recipe. Thank you so much for sharing your recipies. My husband loves it.

My toffee completely split at around 260 degrees. I cooked it on low the whole time for around 30 minutes.

In reply to Nadine.

Hi Nadine! Unfortunately, the toffee tends to separate if it’s heated too quickly or if it’s heated too much. 🙁

I found this recipe last year in my attempt to replicate the famous toffee of a family member. The toffee portion of this recipe is just perfect!

Here is what I do differently to create the family version:
Sprinkle very finely chopped pecans on the parchment paper and then top them with Hershey bars, smooth side down. Place in the oven at the lowest temp possible just until melted enough to spread and fill in gaps with a spatula. Let harden (or close to it) while you make toffee. Follow toffee recipe and pour over chocolate (including the coarsely chopped nuts). Place another layer of Hershey bars over the top, smooth side up. After a few minutes gently spread and smooth and top with finely chopped nuts.

I know the Hershey bars have added sugar and whatnot, but they melt so smoothly and make a decadent once-a-year treat!

In reply to Heather.

Hi Heather! You would need to increase the recipe by 50%. I caution you in doing this because candy can be very tricky. Good luck! 🙂

This turned out amazing! My whole family loved it. It took more like 45 minutes to make, but I was so afraid of cooking it too fast I think I went too slow. Delicious all the same!

If I wanted to make it in a 9×13 inch pan, how do I adjust the ingredients?

Directions are very clear and precise! Came out perfectly first time! We’ve been having rain so, thanks to your advice, I waited for a no-humidity day. If anyone is having trouble the humidity may be the reason. Also, I think it is very important to be patient and watch the heat while it cooks. Takes quite a while but definitely worth the wait! Thanks so much!

In reply to Ande.

Hi Ande! Most often this happens if the butter is heated quickly. 🙁

What would cause the toffe to have a weird fatty/buttery layer on the top?
This recipe is super good and I use it often, but every now and then that happens and I don’t know why.

That’s frustrating to hear, Megan, what went wrong/what issues did you run into? Maybe I can help. There is also a video tutorial in the recipe card, if that helps!

Unfortunately tried this twice, both times a fail. Despite using a low/medium temp, taking my time and using a candy thermometer it separated each time. Waste of ingredients.

In reply to Sue Darby.

Hi Sue! If you are an experienced candy maker comfortable with making toffee it should be fine. If you are newer to it I would recommend doing two batches instead.
