    Pumpkin Seed English Toffee

    English Toffee is a holiday staple in our family. This recipe is originally my aunt's and she generously passed it on to me. Every holiday she arrives with a large platter of this candy and everyone runs to the door. Usually by the time she makes it into the kitchen, the platter is empty.

    Shelled Pumpkin Seed English Toffee

    Now that our family is so large and the micro families have been formed (i.e. the aunts and uncles have become grandparents and the grandchildren have had their own children), big family get-togethers have become few and far between. This could also be attributed to the fact that I have some really narcissistic insane aunts that makes no one want to be around them. As long as I have the family recipes, good riddance I say!

    This english toffee recipe is easy and almost foolproof. Provided you keep the heat low and do not let the sugar burn, your toffee will turn out perfect every time! I love making this recipe with different nuts and seeds. The addition of roasted shelled pumpkin seeds has got to be one of my favorites though!
