    I've made this every year for about 40 years and given it as gifts at Christmas. Always added the vanilla AFTER you take it off the burner. The most requested version is with pecans. Never made it when it's raining or when it's hot. Have always used a heavy bottom SS pot. My wooden spoon is only used to make my English toffee. Heaven help anyone if they use it on anything else. I've used the old Fanny Farmer cookbook recipe, make about 6 quarts worth and it's an all day experience at my house. I've taught many family and friends how to make this and yes, it's amazing.

    In baking, brown sugar is always packed to get an accurate measurement due to the moisture in the brown sugar.

    My wife says she married me because I made this for her, that was 33 years ago.
    My recipe was easy as 1-2-3, that's 1 cup sugar, 2 sticks butter, 3 Tablespoons water and of course slivered almonds inside the candy and sliced on top of the melted chocolate spread on top of the candy. I think I will try the Vanilla.

    I make this at Christmas time as well. The main difference is that I add 1 cup of brickle bits to the butter mixture. The brickle melts into the toffee mixture. I stir it every now and then so the brickle doesn't settle. Once it arrives at 300 degrees pull it off, add the toasted nuts and the vanilla. Pour into pan and top with 2 cups of chocolate chips. Spread out once it melts then sprinkle top with brickle bits and the nuts. A family favorite.

I have not made brickle for maybe forty years, you've inspired me to make some today for my grandkids when they come over for the weekend. We have a tradition that all the grandkids (we have eight this year} and one brand new great grandson, spend the last weekend before Christmas at grandma and grandpa's house to give their parents a chance to do what ever they want or need to do and give them a break. Thanks for sharing your memories; you are continuing the traditions to the next generation that we all so much need in our families. December 18, 2020 Merry Christmas !

      Thanks so much for your comment! We made a video of Steve's grandma's pound cake too - does yours have "butter extract" flavoring, too?

    You cooked that at a much higher temperature I use. It will get very hot, but slower, and doesn't burn so easily. I let it sit at room temperature to harden, with almonds just on top. Once it hardens enough, I flip it over and add the chocolate chips. It spreads easily, as long as you don't let it get cold. I have made it for years, after getting it from See's chocolates.

    It separates when you change the temperature up and down. Keep the temperature constant and add the vanilla at the end. 😊

      Interesting theory - I think it has more to do with the speed at which you bring it up to temp and cook it than it does whether it fluctuates - important to not take too long to get it there.

    Yes we can hear the crunch. yummy now
    I'm hungry.
    For a better vanilla flavor add the vanilla at end off heat. Stirring before pouring onto cookie sheet.

    I’ve seen several recipes and some of them call for a little corn syrup. I’m not sure if that keeps it from separating or not. I’m thinking maybe if it’s cooked too fast it might separate but I haven’t made any yet so I really don’t know. Thanks for sharing. Looks yummy.

    My sister is famous for her toffee made just like yours and she’s always been adamant about using Oleo not butter because of the separation thing. I’ve never experimented with the recipe myself, but she says this every year. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  • @collectionsbyink965
    @collectionsbyink965 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Separates because the vanilla goes in after you reac temp...mmmm looks amazing

    • @MoreMustBeBetter
      @MoreMustBeBetter  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Someone else suggested that too - I’ll try it adding vanilla later!
