Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 lb. brown sugar
dash of salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1 15 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
Melt butter in heavy saucepan. Add sugar and salt; stir thoroughly. Stir in corn syrup, mix well. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Cook and stir over medium heat to firm ball stage (245 degrees). This will take 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Pour into buttered 9x9x2 inch pan. Cool and cut into squares. If you plan to give it away, it does well wrapped in individual pieces of wax paper.

Oh my that does look seriously delicious and easier to make than I would have thought!
This looks YUMMY!
oh yum, i pinned it! i'm going to try this and while i have the candy thermometer out i'm going to make popcorn balls. my mom and grandma used to make them every christmas, red and green ones!
Oh I love Carmel ! Looks great ! Have a great day
My aunt's fudge has so many steps to make, but I love it.
Oh this is awful I am ready to go check the cows and I can bet there is not one thing sweet as this out there. Darn now I want some. Maybe later. Thank you B
Caramel is my very favorite.
That looks sooooo good! I'm such an amateur cook that any recipe takes a lot out of me! :-)
Oh my word, no wonder you take the time! Delicious!
Yes! These are so good: http://sugarcookieart.blogspot.com/2011/08/chocolate-malt-cookies.html
Bad for you, but good!
I make a lot of holiday treats and send them onward to many people. Such as my work my husband's work, preschool, teachers and my husband's family.
Your toffee does look yummy!
Wow, does that ever look wonderful. I am going to make that this weekend for sure. I too rarely break out my candy thermometer. This looks like it would be worth it though.
"my" peanut brittle. Oh so good and crunchy!
Lisa! oh! i am NOT a cook. i try and i am soooooooo BAD at it. my artsy brain won't let me cook. my HM is the cook and not the artsy dude at all. hahaha, we balance each other out.
Oh yum, this is a marvelous picture, too. In my warped thinking, I would slurp it all up before it was cooled, or maybe dump it all over vanilla ice-cream!
I'm making this, and I DON'T plan on giving any away;)
Thanks for posting this Lisa! It looks like it's totally worth getting out the candy thermometer to make!
Oh Wow--did this ever bring back memories. My Mom made this stuff every year at Christmas when I was growing up. We gave it to teachers, etc. as gifts... My job was to cut and wrap it in Wax Paper... I even have an old picture somewhere of me doing that... Need to find that picture...
Thanks for the memories.
Hugs,
Betsy

So fun to use a family recipe that has been handed down!

Whoa! I love that kind of candy!
It looks absolutely sinful!!lol Enjoy!
I'll have to show this recipe to the Great Scot; he is the house toffee maker...this looks seriously good!
oh sounds yummy. I should make this for the holidays. I do have a few recipes I will slave over I might find so time later to post about them if my granddaughters will allow me some blogging time.
That looks sooo yummy. Do you think if my moms made some- that they would give me a taste? If not- can I come to your house--- you always have so much fun,
love

That looks delicious, and I really want to try it!
I haven't made toffee in years. I thought I commented on this in my other account too.... Hmmmmmmm going to have to come back and do that.
Mmmmm Lisa, everytime I see that toffee, it makes my mouth water.
Take out a couple, I'll be right over! :)
Oooh, how delicious! I used to be all about making desserts that had lots of steps, but lately I just don't have the patience for it! But I will spend extra time on candy and cookies around the holidays.
I'll be making this and, might, share but chances are about 50/50. Or not.
Since I just got my cap put in, I'll stay away from toffee...but it shows does look delicious, Baby Girl!...:)JP
