English Toffee

List of Ingredients






1/2 pound butter
1 cup white sugar
3T water
1 tsp. vanilla
4 Hershey bars, plain, have open & ready
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped pecans



Recipe



Put butter in pan & melt on low heat then add sugar, water & vanilla.
Let sugar dissolve completely. Turn heat up to boiling. Let it boil,
stirring constantly to prevent burning, till the candy is brown, about 10
min.

**note: there will be a marked color change to a brown,
caramel-like color

Have a lightly buttered pan ready
**like a jelly-roll depth pan, half that size, though. Pour hot mass into
pan & spread even Immediately spread Hershey bars over top & spread to cover
candy. Spread pecans over the Hershey bars & press them into the chocolate.
Let stand till hardened & break into pieces.
(Nuts may be omitted)

You can make a double batch, or 1 1/2 batches, to fill a jelly roll pan.
The bars melt quickly, from the heat of the candy, so this is a pretty easy
candy to make. The hardness you desire will be trial & error -
Wait a minute or so longer for harder candy (like heath bars).
