WRONG! It was wonderful, my husband was amazed at how good it is, and I will absolutely, positively make it for family Christmas dinner, and for gifts. Thanks so much for sharing.

I knew I wanted to start with this one, after reading so much about it on the Cooking Light board over the years. Thanks to your detailed instructions, it came out great (despite the fact that I discovered that my candy thermometer is several degrees off so I had to use my meat thermometer). I was a little concerned that the addition of the baking soda didn't cause it to bubble up much - but not having had this before, I am not certain what the final texture should be. It is crunchy, and easy to chew, but not airy. Maybe I should get new soda, even though I haven't noticed a problem in other baked goods. I am going to need to make some more anyway, as DH is well on his way to finishing this batch and I need a hostess gift for next weekend. Thanks again!

I bought some English almond toffee online at one of the more popular toffee stores. It had two layers, the bottom layer was a cream colored toffee. The top layer was made up of almonds and chocolate and very tasty. When the box arrived three days ago, I immediately put it in the freezer so it would be fresh for a birthday party I was hosting in late January. I opened the box to check it out and every single piece of the bottom layer of toffee had separated from the top layer. I'm sick because I can't serve it. I can't try to match a hundred little pieces of toffee to fit the corresponding almond and chocolate on the top layer. I checked the website of the online store and it said nothing about not freezing but did say to keep it cold so it would stay fresh. I have frozen all my chocolates and fudge and other candies for years with wonderful results. Can you explain why this might have happened? I wrote to the company but no response. Help!
