JJ's English Toffee

Mindfully Delicious!

Attention Toffee lovers everywhere, I have just been introduced to some of the best toffee I have ever eaten and made.

In case you're wondering why I call this toffee JJ's English Toffee it's because of the great people Jim and Jessica at Be Mindful. Be Human. Eat!

This toffee is being added to my top candy recipes of the decade, yes, I said decade because it's hard to come by good old fashion candy recipes.

The next time I make my toffee ice cream and toffee cookies, JJ's English Toffee will be the new ingredient, no more store bought toffee for me!

I am trying to decide where to start with this toffee, should I just eat it all today, or should I ration it off for about a week!

I give up, let's eat it all today!
