Yum! This is my first batch of Grandma Great's english toffee this Christmas. I love to remember the afternoon Jen and I spent in her kitchen learning directly from the master how to make this delicious treat, a favorite of mine for years. Probably since Ruth married Ryan 47 years ago!
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup water1/2 cup karo syrup
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups almonds, slivered
1 lb. butter -- cut it into the pan
Boil these ingredients until the almonds are about the color of a paper bag!
Spread on a large cookie sheet.
Break a large hershey bar on top and let it melt, then smooth it all over the toffee.
Cover with chopped walnuts.
Score into squares with a pizza wheel. Let it cool overnight. Enjoy!

It is the best! I wish you could come and help me make mine. I've never done it on my own.
Gosh, I wish I could, too. Won't you be up before Christmas? Come on over and we'll make some.
