Easy English Toffee


Ingredients


1 c. sugar

1 c. butter (salted or unsalted)
not margerine,oleo or vegetable spread

3 tbsp. water

1 tsp. vanilla

4 or 5 Plain chocolate candy bars - optional

3/4 cup chopped nuts - optional


Directions


Combine sugar, butter and water in heavy saucepan.

Cook to 300 degrees (hard crack stage) stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Add vanilla and pour into a buttered 9 x 9 inch pan.

At this stage, if you want a chocolate nut toffee, place the chcolate bars atop the hot mixture and spread evenly as they melt.

Sprinkle nuts on top of melted chocolate.

When completely cooled, break into pieces.

Small broken pieces work well for making butter brickle ice cream (see recipe under Desserts)
