This recipe is one that’s very near and dear to my heart, it’s one of the holiday recipes that’s been passed down from my Grandma Louise.  The Holidays just aren’t the holidays without Gram’s Candies.

I’m so happy to have you join me in the kitchen, as we make a batch together… Gram’s English Toffee video will give you the confidence to whip up some up at your house this year!

I hope this video is full of helpful tips to give you all the confidence you need to try making some of your own…

Gram’s English Toffee, Gram’s Christmas Karmels, and Grandma Louise’s Fudge are all a Holiday tradition at our house!
