English Toffee

English Toffee is a nationwide favorite that is easily made with only a few ingredients. The difference between regular toffee and English Toffee is one important ingredient – butter!

I make English Toffee throughout the year for special occasions and it’s always a big hit. I simply sprinkle on my favorite toppings to create several variations and my friends and family go crazy for this sweet treat!

Instructions

• Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper with some extra sticking up at the ends.

• Remove from heat and add the baking soda. Stir until the mixture foams up. Quickly pours into the prepared pan.

• In a microwave, heat the chocolate chips for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  
• Pour over hardened toffee mixture and spread to evenly coat. In four separate sections, sprinkle your favorite toppings on top of the chocolate.
