When I was in the 7th grade, one of the girls in my history class always brought in the most amazing homemade toffee. She said that her mom would make it during the holidays and we would all surround her during break time to make sure we got our hands on this amazing toffee.

Well, I’m happy to say that after 12 years of trying my first homemade toffee, I can finally cross this off on my culinary bucket list.

Easy Homemade Toffee - An unbelievably easy, no-fuss, homemade toffee recipe. So addictive, you won't want to share!

Now this toffee recipe is unbelievably easy. The only hard part I could think of is the caramelization process but I promise you, it’s not difficult at all. It’s a simple stir-and-watch process until it turns an almond brown. That’s it! No candy thermometer or fancy gadgets needed.

But I guess the real hard part is waiting the 2 hours for this to cool so you could finally stuff your face with this. Just be warned that you will not want to share this with anyone so if you plan on making this for gift-giving, I commend you on your self-control!
