     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.
