I tried this recipe three times, and neither of the first two turned out well. I think there's something missing from the directions. The first batch didn't harden. The second separated when I put in the pecans. Neither was very appealing. I had to throw the second one down the garbage disposal. All in all, I was not pleased.

After reading some other reviews and watching the video, I gave it another try. So far, so good. It' still setting up, and it doesn't seem quite as hard as it should be, but it's much better than either of the first two attempts. I do have to make it one more time, as this one batch isn't enough to cover the gifts I want to give, so I'm going to let it cook just a little longer to let the candy get a little firmer.

This was the most disgusting recipe I have ever tried. It was so greasy. I think there was too much butter. Was not fit to eat. It looked good on her show but did not turn out right

This is the best toffee I have ever made. I made a double batch and it turned out perfectly. The trick is to bring the temperature up SLOWLY,I kept it on medium the entire time. It takes a little longer, but the results are definitely worth it!

Thank you for the tip to watch for the peanut butter color. My candy thermometer is rather old and possibly does not have correct temperature readings to that was a nice indicator. Instead of using pecans I used almonds and added a bit of almond extract. A great variation! I even added nuts on top of the chocolate layer to add detail and extra crunch (as if toffee needs it. This is a good, solid recipe that allows for some wiggle room. Very pretty for gifts too.

I must say that my double batch did not turnout correctly. It's my fault that I did not follow the recipe. I made it again, and I followed the recipe exactly like Paula described, and it turnout perfectly!: The keys are: 1 your cooktop must be on high/med heat in order to get the butter/sugar mixture to the correct temp., 2 when the mixture turn the color of peanut butter it's ready, and 3you must stir the sugar mixture constantly. This is an easy recipe if you follow the instructions. Thanks so much Paula, keep up the good work!!: ...Debbiedoll

I loved this toffe recipe! It was easy! I am making it for my neighbors this year and wanted something that was special but not real time consuming because I work full time and am limited, at Christmas, with what I can do. I am going to make some and send it to my son and his wife because they won't be home this Christmas.
If you follow the recipe and use a heavier pan and heat it on medium like the recipe says you will be fine! Thanks Paula for helping me give my neighbors and my family something special to show them we care this year!!!

I cannot tell you how upset I am about this recipe! I followed the directions to a "tee", and the mixture came to 305 degrees on the candy thermometer (I was careful because I did not want it so hard it would break my teethso I did the in between. The sugar did not disolve completely, and the chocklate chip spread on it after it was hot tasted terrible. I agree with most of the reviews, something lacking! An expensive mistake in my candy making.

After the first 2 batches scorched, I read the reviews and tweaked the instructions... and finally it worked! You have to melt the butter first, add sugar, bring to a boil and then add cold water. Stir constantly until it comes to Peanut Butter color! I didn't even check to see if the temp was 300 degrees, just went with the color of peanut butter and it was perfect! YUM!!!
