Who is Mrs. Hall, you ask? I have no idea. I do know that this is the recipe for English Toffee that has been used for generations in my family. My dad taught me to make it and I now make it with my kids. I suppose one of those wise ancestors of mine knew a Mrs. Hall that made the perfect English Toffee, and I’m glad she shared her recipe! She has done her family name proud! It is delightful, super easy, and a perfect Christmas time treat!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. butter
1 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
3 T. water
about 6 chocolate bars
topping of choice
Combine all ingredients. Cook over medium heat until brown. When cooked, pour into a greased 13×9 inch pan. While hot, cover with chocolate bars (I just use Hershy’s bars). When the chocolate looks fully melted, spread it evenly with a silicone spatula. You can sprinkle it with nuts or toppings while the chocolate is still soft. Allow to become hard and then break into pieces.
