      Title: English Toffee
 Categories: Mix, Candy, Ethnic
      Yield: 18 Servings

      1 lb Butter
      2 c  Sugar
      1 c  Chocolate chips melted a bit -OR-
      1 c  Basic chocolate sauce
    1/2 c  Peanuts; chopped coarsely

  Melt your chocolate chips over very low heat or in a double
  boiler, and chop your peanuts up rather fine before you begin the
  recipe. Then you can assemble this layered toffee all at once.

  Cut butter into small pieces and place in a heavy skillet with the
  sugar. Cook slowly over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until
  the butter melts and is completely blended into the sugar.

  Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture, reduce heat and cook for
  30 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is a deep amber
  color and the thermometer registers 285 degrees F.

  Pour mixture into an ungreased cookie sheet and allow to cool
  completely. Spread melted chocolate chips over the toffee and press
  the chopped peanuts on top.  When the chocolate has hardened, break
  the toffee into small pieces and store them in a tightly covered
  container.
