Aunt Louise's toffe

This has become a Jones family favorite at weddings. Aunt Sharon always puts it on the dessert table at her gorgeous weddings.

1 lb. Butter
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. real vanilla
dash of salt

Melt butter in med. Sauce pan and add sugar stirring with wire whisk and cook on med. Hi heat until mixture is thick, bubbly and a smoky caramel color. Add vanilla and salt at the very end and pour out on buttered cookie sheet in the center (oval shape) Place See’s chocolate pieces (2 bags) on top or Hershey’s milk chocolate bar (giant bar) and wait for it to melt and then spread with metal spatula evenly over top and sprinkle with chopped sliced toasted almonds. You can use whole almonds by placing them on the cookie sheet before pouring out mixture, or enjoy the toffee plain with the nuts on top of the chocolate

  1. Nothing like a pound of butter followed by two cups of sugar!
