This is the exact recipe how my 96 year old Aunt ( R.I.P.) used to to make. The only difference was she put nuts on the top. I have to tell you, she never timed her cooking process. I asked her how long do you cook it. She said it was done when you see the first puff of smoke, then immediately take it off the burner. This never fails. Every time I make it I think of her and miss her.❤
Another surefire gauge for toffee doneness is an ordinary brown paper grocery bag. Keep it nearby - but not too near the heat - and when the candy has cooked to the point that it’s the same color as the bag, it’s done and ready to pour out. Works every time!
@tracyosborne6963: Brown sugar tends to have MORE moisture in it due to the molasses! Perhaps, that may be one of the reasons why the TOFFEE never becomes CRUNCHY; however, when baking cookies and you DESIRE moisture, i.e. chewiness...BROWN SUGAR or a combination of granulated (white sugar) and Brown Sugar (molasses) is IDEAL! ;-D Go with this all WHITE SUGAR recipe it is wonderful! 😀 *P.S. Sometimes, I use "infused" vanilla white (granulated) sugar...the vanilla beans in the sugar brings an even greater FLAVOR profile! ;-D Blessings to you & yours!
OMG, I just found this recipe and it is a KEEPER!!! My husband doesn't often comment on my baking or cooking other than, "yeah it's good yes I like it" but this was, "where did you get this recipe, you aren't giving it away are you, this is great!" I did add another bar of chocolate (which took longer to set) and crumbled these crumbs from a local candy stores Soft peanut butter brittle that is amazing. It is the scraping from their pans when they break it up. That just took it over the top!!!!
I miss my parents always but more so this time of year. My father would ask me to always put up their tree and decorate it. 🎄He would tell me how to do things while in his recliner. My mother loved to cook and bake. She would make at least 7 large trays of lasagna for Christmas Day. I love you always mom & dad. 🙂🦋❤️
❤❤Im gonna try this! You both are so sweet! I hope you both know how very blessed you are to have each other!!!...😊❤❤Much love from EAST TENNESSEE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the 1st time I've come across your videos & I love it! I've made my own toffee before, (using my own recipe), and I have a suggestion for you - just before you pour the toffee on the cookie sheet, turn the fire off & quickly stir in 1 cup of chopped pecans. Then proceed as usual. It'll make a huge, and delicious, difference!
That is the way I make my toffee. One batch I make with chopped pecans and one with almonds. Our family loves chopped nuts and I use dark chocolate. This is a very versatile Recipe.
First time seeing your video, I love the casualness between you and your wife while you’re explaining. I feel like I’m in your kitchen and a family member is showing me how to make candy. My husband went to get candy bars and I’m getting everything else set up, thank you!
Some people were just meant to be together, you know that God wanted them to be together. God Bless you both you are a joy to be with and your recipes are an added bonus for us all. Definitely making this 100% no doubt xx Jean from Scotland.
Thanks for showing us how to make such a wonderful treat! Do you also make soft caramels? Your videos and instructions take the guess work out + removes the fear of messing up! Thank you so much for the easy to follow videos from your table to ours. Have a blessed Labor Day weekend.
I'm going to try making this and really appreciate that a candy thermometer isn't needed. This candy is one of my favorites!! Thank you for sharing. 🎄🌟
Tried this for the first time I’ve made toffee and it came out great! I did add a cup of chopped almonds just before pouring it onto the pan as was recommended by another viewer. Thx so much for the helpful video!
Made it today for the first time Tom, the only change I had to make was I used dark chocolate, as we did not have milk chocolate in house…it is still cooling, so I’m not sure what it will taste like compared to milk chocolate…thanks Tom 👏👏👏🟦
My mother always used an iron skillet because it distributes and holds the heat. The trickiest thing about this candy is knowing when it is browned enough, not too much and not enough. But with practice, I found I could get it just right. My mother always used chocolate chips and sprinkled crushed almonds over the chocolate. My FAVORITE candy!! Yum!! We only make this for Christmas. It’s such a treat. Thanks for sharing this video. It brings back childhood memories.
I thought I loved watching you both before, but then butter toffee happened and I’ve just committed myself to yet another dessert to prepare before Sunday😊You both are great and seem to have the same relationship as my husband and myself. Thank you for sharing such yummy recipes with us all. Merry Christmas to you and yours🎄
Funny… usually I fast-forward through a lot of videos like this but with this one I enjoyed listening to you and your wife talk and I’ve just enjoyed every minute of it
I do the exact recipe but I double the ingredients, add a little vanilla extract and top with chopped roasted almonds. I make it every Christmas for friends and family.
I remember making this as a freshman in high school in Home Ec class in 1966. I think our recipe came from either Better Homes and Gardens or Betty Crocker cookbooks. We used a candy thermometer to bring it to desired temperature (didn't go by color). My family loved it. I made it for several years until my sister and I joined Weight Watchers and convinced our parents to follow the program, too. The was the end of my candy making. Now that I'm diabetic, I doubt I'll be making this but may enjoy a SMALL piece if it happens to be at the family Christmas do. :)
I love how you demonstrate simply and slowly, showing all the steps clearly. Everything is well organized and easy to follow. I’m not particularly comfortable in the kitchen, but I’m going to try this! Thank you.
I absolutely love you two! Tom is excellent explaining all the ingredients and steps. Your videos are terrific!!!! Much love and God's blessings to you both! ❤
Woo-hoooo!🎉 I just made toffee for the first time (first of many, I'm sure!) and it took less than fifteen minutes. Looks good and has a nice crunch, so I think I did it right. YUM! TY for the video!🤗
I… have watched this or listened to this video while doing house work at least a dozen times a day. It’s just so joyful, you are both so lovely. I’m going to watch it again real soon. Bye from Sydney Australia 😊
I'm so happy this video came up in my feed! Not only does your toffee candy look easy and delicious, its wonderful to hear the loving camaraderie you and your wife have. ❤ Great video!
I just LOVE you guys! Hearing you talk about the memories tied to recipes and food makes me feel like you are part of my family memories. So love all you share. Thanks Tom and Melissa👍🏻. I know what you were meaning when you said five thumbs up. I don’t watch videos to make ugly comments. Keep it up💕. Can’t wait for the next one.
Thank you for that encouragement. We really do appreciate the nice comments. We have over 100 videos on our channel posted now. We hope you can enjoy a bunch of them. Thank you again for watching.
Listening to you stir the bubbling candy is wonderful ASMR. 😊 Thanks for sharing this. It's much less intimidating now I've seen it done, rather than just reading a recipe.
I wanted to add two things. Chocolate chips are easier and melt faster and for the newbies making this, if you turn a jar of peanut butter upside down and sit it there while you are cooking, once it is the same color it is ready :) Have fun - great recipe - thanks :)
Turned out PERFECT!!❤ Thank you! My mom made this at Christmas time, when she was still with us. She called it “ROCO”….not sure why but we call it that in her memory! Delicious!
This is so beautiful. Not just the delightful recipe, but the shared cooking experience. The safe feeling that is created by the sound of your voice. It's truly lovely.
Definitely! When you live with an angry controlling man - it’s a welcome change I was waiting for irritation or exasperation or a tone 😣 But his genuine gentleness, like you said continued. ❤
Okay! I just made this recipe and I cannot believe it. I did it! Thank you for making it so simple. I did add a little bit of vanilla at the end.Because I love my vanilla. Thank you.Thank you for posting this video.I'm i'm fifty five years old, and this is the first time in my life that I have ever attempted making toffee, because because I thought it was so hard😊
Thank you so much for this recipe ! I needed some recipes for nut free candies & cookies ,etc. for our family Christmas party . We have one darling Granddaughter who has allergies to nuts. ! This recipe will become a constant for me 🙏🏻
Let me first say, I am not a cook lol but I came upon your recipe and watched it thinking, I can do this! Well, I'm here to say thank you, I did do it and it taste wonderful! I can cook per se but quit once I divorced a long time ago. Your channel has got me excited again about trying new things!! Thank you and wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!! Oh, love your wife's name, it's my name too!! 😊❤
This looks so delicious and soooo easy. I can’t wait until Christmas to make this. It is 109 degrees today in Texas. I need something to do inside the house! This is it!! We have a sharing neighborhood so I will definitely want to share this also.
I started watching last year about this time, I made a hit with the butter toffee, I haven’t tried the praline on the stove but my husband has a recipe and I make mine in the microwave, but I love watching these people, they are down to earth and may be city folks but country enough for this Texas gal,
Thank you so much. I had to make a double batch so I could take some to my work friends for Christmas. I knew when my family smelt this candy they were going to need some so I had to make a batch for work and a batch for Home. I made this recipe right alongside your videoand I really appreciate you putting this recipe out there making it easy for us folks. Happy holidays.
Suggest to use a whisk to stir snd an offset spatula to spread the toffee layer as you mentioned for chocolate layer. I'd have those candy bars chopped up in smaller pieces too.
I made this tonight...twice, LOL! The first time I took it off the heat a minute too early so it's not really dark, but it hardened up just the same. The second time when I poured it out it was that nice caramel color at about 7:30 after it began bubbling. :) Can't wait to try it after dinner tonight.
This is much easier than my recipe. I had to boil sugar and butter for 7 minutes. It's good, but I'm getting old and look for convenience nowadays. I've made your bar b que ribs, banana salad, and Italian spread. Tonight it's sweet and sour chicken. Everything was yummy! Thank you, don't quit, please.
Around that same year, 1984ish my lovely mother introduced this recipe at Christmas time, it became an INSTANT obsession!! This candy is WONDERFUL!!! However, we somehow lost the recipe and couldn’t find it again. So THANK YOU for this video and recipe, this WILL be in my holiday cooking I do this year, I just know my family is going to be so happy to see it again! ❤
I made this in the cashew brittle last Christmas. Toffee has always been one of my favorites but the I'm addicted to the cashew brittle. This is delicious too though. Simple and easy to make and tasty. I think they make good videos, it shows they're effective teachers. LOL. BTW thank you for these videos.
Thank you, Tom for sharing this toffee recipe. I cannot wait to make this for my family. Looks so easy. I always thought it was a massive process and would not tackle it. Am so excited and anxious to make this.
Thank you cam that looks like a really nice recipe and super fast and easy and I love listening to you because you are so precise and detail explain everything exquisite
Wow, thank you! Just saw this video a couple nights ago and your instructions were so reassuring that I had to try it and it turned out great! I played your video so I could try to match my results with yours - that was super helpful. Enjoyed your stories, too. Thanks again.
Thank you Tom for sharing this recipe with us. I must give this a try for my grandchildren. I also know they would love the one Melissa made for her grandmother. I thank you both again. So until next time God Bless you both and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friends.
My grandmother's friend showed me how to make this type of candy once when I was young, but I forgot the details over the years. Glad to have this pop up in my suggestions today. The only thing different she did was add sliced almonds to the toffee mixture. But since we have a nut allergy in the house, I don't need them so this recipe is perfect. Thanks for posting!
I have been trying to perfect my recipe for toffee! My aunt always made it at Christmas and my cousins and I would take the plate of toffee and hide in a bedroom to eat it!!😊🎄😊
Thank you sir !! One using salted butter, which my wife only buys lol. Can't wait to try this and also thank you for the visuals with the penny, I've seen her waste alot before because she couldn't find a good representation for what it should looks like. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄!!
I've always been a bit scared of this recipe (more traditional versions, with the dreaded candy thermometer!) but you made this seem achievable. And it looks wonderful. I copied the recipe as you talked and will be trying it soon. You and Melissa make a great team. I've just subscribed, Oh, your story of getting this recipe from a co-working in the 1980s (though you look too young to have been working then) made me think of a dear womam who I worked with who was a great cook. For my birthday one year she made a carrot cake - which Id never had before (shame on you, Mama) - and I'm sure my face fell when she said 'carrot cake'. But I thought I'm a grown up, I can take a bite and say it;s great, and thank you, and then just discard the rest when no one was looking. Much to my delight and surprise, it was, of course, amazingly good. I'm sure I ate more than my share that day. She gave me the recipe and I've been making it ever since. No way I was going to deprive MY children of that glorious dessert.
Thank you for making this Butter toffee .In my mind I .are it SOOO hard .I can't believe it is SOOOO easy . I sure will make this THANK YOU MERRY CHRISTMAS
We never have but I don’t see why you couldn’t. We’d recommend chopping the nuts a lot since the toffee itself isn’t really thick. Enjoy your candy and Merry Christmas! Thanks for watching our videos!
@shannon, did you try it? I'm curious if you could sprinkle some sliced almonds around in the parchment-lined pan and carefully pour the toffee over. If anyone has tried that, could you comment, please, on how it went? Thanks. Happy munching!😂
Very good video. I’ve tried to make toffee several times and it was a disaster. I really appreciate you showing every step - even cleaning the pan! Thank you again!
Toffee is one of my favorite I make it for the holidays every year. I am the Baker in the family. And I have to do it for about 64 people. So I make lots of different stuff. Happy Thanksgiving to both.❤

I’ve never made toffee but now I will! Thanks for the video 😊

just watched this for the first time in December 2023! Looks so easy and looks so delicious!!
This is my first time seeing it. Nov. 2024 ❤ it does look delicious!
Watch Christmas Crack recipe. Way better than this honestly and easy and delicious. NEVER use WHITE sugar ONLY brown.
❤❤Im gonna try this! You both are so sweet! I hope you both know how very blessed you are to have each other!!!...😊❤❤Much love from EAST TENNESSEE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your memories about grandma. I love this video. My husband and I used to cook together. I miss him. 3/13/2024 he passed away.
I'm so sorry for your loss! God bless you!❤❤❤
May happy memories give you comfort through this holiday season and always.
@@jeanart597Thank you so much. My first year without him. He left 3/13/2024. I has been devastating.
@@lisahinton9682 Thank you so much. My first year without him. He left 3/13/2024. It has been difficult.
I just love him using the pennies to show what color you need.
This is the 1st time I've come across your videos & I love it!

Then proceed as usual. It'll make a huge, and delicious, difference!
I thought about that but didn't know if it would mess it up, thank you!
Or, you could sprinkle the pecans (or anything else: pretzels, crackers, nuts, etc,) evenly on the baking sheet and pour the toffee over it!
That is the way I make my toffee. One batch I make with chopped pecans and one with almonds. Our family loves chopped nuts and I use dark chocolate. This is a very versatile
Recipe.
That looks delicious 🤤👍🏻
Sounds yummy!
Love the way you break it! Nifty trick.
My Mom loves my microwave peanut brittle. My daughter and nephew loves my chocolate covered cherries. I love making candy at Christmas.
Microwave peanut brittle? Plz share
First time seeing your video, I love the casualness between you and your wife while you’re explaining. I feel like I’m in your kitchen and a family member is showing me how to make candy.
My husband went to get candy bars and I’m getting everything else set up, thank you!
I love heath bars, but I never realized how easy it would be to make a homemade version! I'm so glad I came across this!!
Some people were just meant to be together, you know that God wanted them to be together.
God Bless you both you are a joy to be with and your recipes are an added bonus for us all.
Definitely making this 100% no doubt xx Jean from Scotland.
Thank you Tom. I'm making this tomorrow for all the grandkids who are here for Christmas. Thank you Melissa for posting these recipes.
You’re very welcome! We hope everyone loves it! Merry Christmas!
The. Candy. Looks. good 21:13 21:13
Definitely delish
The candy was delicious you made following the recipe easy to follow.
Thanks for showing us how to make such a wonderful treat!
Do you also make soft caramels?
Your videos and instructions take the guess work out + removes the fear of messing up! Thank you so much for the easy to follow videos from your table to ours.
Have a blessed Labor Day weekend.
So thankful that Melissa is such a good sport and always so willing to “take one for the team”
I'm going to try making this and really appreciate that a candy thermometer isn't needed. This candy is one of my favorites!! Thank you for sharing. 🎄🌟
You’re welcome! We love how easy it is, too! Merry Christmas!
Never knew it would be so easy 3 ingredients and 30 minutes! Awesome, I gotta try this!
Tried this for the first time I’ve made toffee and it came out great! I did add a cup of chopped almonds just before pouring it onto the pan as was recommended by another viewer. Thx so much for the helpful video!

My mother always used an iron skillet because it distributes and holds the heat. The trickiest thing about this candy is knowing when it is browned enough, not too much and not enough. But with practice, I found I could get it just right. My mother always used chocolate chips and sprinkled crushed almonds over the chocolate. My FAVORITE candy!! Yum!! We only make this for Christmas. It’s such a treat. Thanks for sharing this video. It brings back childhood memories.
I just started watching your video a few days ago and saved some of your receipts. Been looking for this one thanks for sharing Sandy
Thank you for sharing. I can hardly wait to make it.
That’s my favorite candy of all time!

This Butter Toffee Candy recipe looks so delicious 😋Mr. Tom.
I have to say I enjoy you and Melissa.Your cooking channel is over and above with your channel.😊
Listening to you stir the bubbling candy is wonderful ASMR. 😊

OMG! I love all your recipes. I'm going to try a lot of these for Christmas. Keep them coming.
It's on my list this year too 😉
I make that and people love it. I pour chopped almonds on top. Right after pouring chocolate chips and they melt. 😊
I love easy delicious recipes. This fills the bill! 👍
This one is super easy (but hard for me to stay out of!).
@@comesitatmytable9044 I totally get it!

Looks very delicious, thank you. I love it, I would eat it all too.
Well. It can be a challenge to not eat too much! A sweet tooth is hard to control!
I made this in the cashew brittle last Christmas. Toffee has always been one of my favorites but the I'm addicted to the cashew brittle. This is delicious too though. Simple and easy to make and tasty. I think they make good videos, it shows they're effective teachers. LOL.
BTW thank you for these videos.
Thanks for sharing. Haven’t had this since I was a kid. I’ll be using this recipe to make for my family this Christmas ❤️
Yummy! Looking forward to trying this! 😋
Thank you, Tom for sharing this toffee recipe. I cannot wait to make this for my family. Looks so easy. I always thought it was a massive process and would not tackle it. Am so excited and anxious to make this.
Such sweet precious people. Merry Christmas.
Thank you cam that looks like a really nice recipe and super fast and easy and I love listening to you because you are so precise and detail explain everything exquisite
Wow, thank you! Just saw this video a couple nights ago and your instructions were so reassuring that I had to try it and it turned out great! I played your video so I could try to match my results with yours - that was super helpful. Enjoyed your stories, too. Thanks again.
Thank you Tom for sharing this recipe with us. I must give this a try for my grandchildren. I also know they would love the one Melissa made for her grandmother. I thank you both again. So until next time God Bless you both and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friends.
My grandmother's friend showed me how to make this type of candy once when I was young, but I forgot the details over the years. Glad to have this pop up in my suggestions today. The only thing different she did was add sliced almonds to the toffee mixture. But since we have a nut allergy in the house, I don't need them so this recipe is perfect. Thanks for posting!
I have been trying to perfect my recipe for toffee! My aunt always made it at Christmas and my cousins and I would take the plate of toffee and hide in a bedroom to eat it!!😊🎄😊
What a simple recipe. I will put this in my recipe box. I will be making this for Christmas. Thanks for sharing!!!
I didn't know it was so easy to make! Awesome 😊 I'm going to make this for my family 😋
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for watching our video.
Going to try it looks yummy
Thank you sir !! One using salted butter, which my wife only buys lol. Can't wait to try this and also thank you for the visuals with the penny, I've seen her waste alot before because she couldn't find a good representation for what it should looks like. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄!!
Thank you for showing how to make the Butter Toffee. It looks so good! Will be trying it soon! Enjoy your show very much!
Thank you Tom and Melissa for sharing this recipe. I will try it.
Looks so simple and good!!😊
I have made lots of different things, but I have never made coffee before. Didn’t even know how to make it. Thank you so much. God bless you both.
This looks soooo good and easy !! I'm definitely making this !! Thank you ❤
This was fun to watch. Thank you for sharing. 😊
I've always been a bit scared of this recipe (more traditional versions, with the dreaded candy thermometer!) but you made this seem achievable. And it looks wonderful. I copied the recipe as you talked and will be trying it soon. You and Melissa make a great team. I've just subscribed, Oh, your story of getting this recipe from a co-working in the 1980s (though you look too young to have been working then) made me think of a dear womam who I worked with who was a great cook. For my birthday one year she made a carrot cake - which Id never had before (shame on you, Mama) - and I'm sure my face fell when she said 'carrot cake'. But I thought I'm a grown up, I can take a bite and say it;s great, and thank you, and then just discard the rest when no one was looking. Much to my delight and surprise, it was, of course, amazingly good. I'm sure I ate more than my share that day. She gave me the recipe and I've been making it ever since. No way I was going to deprive MY children of that glorious dessert.
Thank you for making this Butter toffee .In my mind I .are it SOOO hard .I can't believe it is SOOOO easy .
I sure will make this THANK YOU MERRY CHRISTMAS
I'm definitely making this TOMORROW!! ❤️😋🍫 Can you add nuts to the toffee right before you pour it?? I truly love yalls channel!!♥️🎄🎁🎅🙏🏻
We never have but I don’t see why you couldn’t. We’d recommend chopping the nuts a lot since the toffee itself isn’t really thick. Enjoy your candy and Merry Christmas! Thanks for watching our videos!
@shannon, did you try it? I'm curious if you could sprinkle some sliced almonds around in the parchment-lined pan and carefully pour the toffee over. If anyone has tried that, could you comment, please, on how it went? Thanks. Happy munching!😂
@JR-yy1iv not yet. I've had a couple of surgeries.. but hopefully over the holidays!😊🍽🧡
Very good video. I’ve tried to make toffee several times and it was a disaster. I really appreciate you showing every step - even cleaning the pan! Thank you again!
We hope you have great success with this candy. We really do think it's a great treat. Have a great evening and a very Merry Christmas!
That looks so good and delicious, I would like to try this at Christmas time this year.😊❤
Ms.Ruby
You could celebrate Christmas in July - if you hurry! The month is almost over! Stores get away with it so I think we can too in the kitchen!
Toffee is one of my favorite I make it for the holidays every year. I am the Baker in the family. And I have to do it for about 64 people.
So I make lots of different stuff. Happy Thanksgiving to both.❤
Can’t wait to make this for my father! He loves toffe!❤
Oh my gosh!!! I get the ABSOLUTE BEST recipes from you!! This one is going to be a Christmas tradition for my family from now on!! THANK YOU!! 👍❤️
