English Toffee

I'm in the midst of trying to decide what to make for my Christmas gifts. Usually it's some form of chocolates; filled, truffles, dipped nuts. And while I usually have this decision made by the end of November, we are now racing toward the middle of December and I still haven't reached a decision. I'm hoping that if I keep putting it off eventually I'll find the inspiration and energy to do something really interesting. So far, no go. But until then I'll revisit my private recipe file, and maybe even share one or two with you. ;)
