I made it the other night and it's sooooo good. I was a little nervous because I hadn't used a candy thermometer since my high school home ec class -- I'm not even sure why I have one -- but your instructions were perfect and easy to understand. I know I will be making English toffee again but now I want to try making other candy. Maybe I'll do peanut brittle next time. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Thanks you so much for this recipe!

Is it really 2/3/ cup, or 2/3 of a stick?? Well...guess I'll find out. Ok–I’m making this as we speak and I’m freaking a little–this looks like a LOT of butter in proportion to the sugar.

The butter separated, which seems to be my fault by way of impatience.

DUH! I ended up with a watery mess. Also, I burnt the sugar mixture. I wonder if the excess water contributed to this too. I need to try this again because it looks divine!
