Notes

Tip
It goes without saying that this recipe is not to be made with children present.. The toffee is extremely hot and really dangerous if splashed on skin.
Variation
If you want those toffees softer (stick jaws) you can test them earlier. If they form a soft ball after being dropped in cold water, they are ready.
Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
