OLD ENGLISH TOFFEE
Mary marked this recipe "Good".
"Win your family's praise with this wonderful recipe for Old English Toffee."
1 lb. (2 cups) Meadolake margarine
2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped almonds (leave skins on), divided use (Mary used English walnuts)
4 oz. dipping chocolate
Combine margarine, sugar and 1/2 cup almonds (or walnuts) in a 3-quart saucepan. Boil gently, stirring constantly, until mixture is golden brown and a small amount dropped into cold water will crack in the fingers (305 degrees F). Pour at once into a large oiled baking pan with sides, and if necessary, spread thin with an oiled spatula.
When mixture cools, melt chocolate over hot water, then spread on cold candy and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup almonds (or walnuts).
When chocolate is firm, break in irregular pieces. Improves on storage.
Makes about 2 pounds
