Gifts from the Kitchen, Sally’s Tempting Toffee
One of the gifts I received at my Birthday Christmas Cocktail Party
was a tin of homemade toffee from my good friend CCOG
{CC’s Other Grandmother}
The moment I lifted the lid, an irresistible aroma came wafting out
I quickly closed the lid told everyone to keep away,
this was all for me 😂
These squares are unbelievably delicious!
They are made with just a few ingredients
that you might even have in your pantry~
graham crackers, butter, brown sugar, vanilla and pecans
A perfect last minute gift from your kitchen!
CCOG was so nice to give me the recipe and let me share it with you
Sally’s Tempting Toffee

I love a gift from the kitchen! Both look delicious. So sweet of CCOG to share the recipe!
This toffee is dangerous!
Wonderful suggestions!
So easy and so good!
I’ll have to try the Graham cracker version, Jenna. In Trisha Yearwood’s cookbook she did mention using them for a sweeter version than using the saltines. Isn’t it addictive?? Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
