Best Toffee Ever!
Cora Holt
This recipe has been around for years but no one ever made it. Several years ago I made it on a whim and served at the family Christmas party. Now it is requested by everyone. I even ship it to relatives in South Carolina each Christmas. It really is the best toffee I have had.
