Classic Toffee Recipe by The Casual Craftlete

Hands down my Mother In Law makes the best toffee ever!  I look forward to eating it every Christmas.  A few years ago she graciously gave me her recipe.  Everyone I have given the toffee to absolutely LOVES it.  I mean whats not to love?  It has butter, sugar, chocolate and nuts in it.  This is definitely for the sweet tooth’s out there.
