Gram’s English Toffee Recipe
Okay. I gotta admit, when I made Gram’s English Toffee Video and went to link up the recipe post from a couple of years ago~ I was a little embarrassed by the photo.
Seriously. It’s creepy y’all, it totally looks something that jumped out of the ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ movie. (click here if you’d like to see)
I just had to have another take on it… we love this recipe SO much!
