Thanks!! :-) It's a lot of damned work, but this is what I do for
Christmas!! And my nephew Paul in Portland OR was making some of HIS English
Toffee, and his English Toffee is VERY Old Skool!! He does not even use a
candy thermometer, and he only uses butter and SUGAR, and has always used
only WHITE sugar, but last evening he only had in-house enough white sugar
to have about 3/4 of the amount of white sugar he needed for one batch and
all he could find in his kitchen was some light brown sugar, and not only
did it cook down very satisfactorily, after he poured it out, he said it
practically SLID out of the cook pot rather than having to be practically
chip it out!! Very interesting development and I have yet to hear from him
on how it tastes/eats.

Now that is bringing back some memories I haven't made anything
like that for decades .. but ... ahh they were the days)

MAY be a new beneficial development!! We are thinking of going into the
English Toffee business as it WAS one of the FIRST candies I made which is
how my nephew Paul was introduced to the fine old art of Candymaking!! And
as my nephew Paul has moved into a new career in life (Life and Business
Coaching, he is REALLY good at it and people like him, unlike me!) when we
were discussing it he immediately when into business coaching mode and said
Then we need to figure out how to automate the production process" and I
immediately said "NO! This will be "Old Skool English Toffee", the same
one-pot at a time production method!! That's it's allure!"

I have to email him this AM and find out how it worked/tasted!!
