I made three kinds of candy this year. First was Peppermint Bark:

Next I made Microwave Caramels with seasalt! They are so delicious and EASY!

Finally, I made two batches of my annual toffee. It would not be Christmas without this stuff around! I have been making this for at least 30 years!

Toffee

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup blanched almonds

Toffee is easy to make, but you must be prepared to STIR for a long time (at least 25 minutes)!

Here is a step-by-step of the process:

Melt all three ingredients in a skillet over med. high heat.

As you keep stirring, it will eventually thicken, and turn a lovely caramel color. The almonds will begin to pop. That is time to remove from heat.

Pour the mixture quickly onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and press it down flat with a spatula, spreading it as far as possible.

Sprinkle a package (12 oz.) of chocolate chips over it.

Spread the chocolate quickly. Toffee is still spreading farther in pan.

Quickly sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Chill several hours or overnight. Then break into small pieces. Keeps well for months in the refrigerator.
