Well if part 1 is as yummy as this homemade butter toffee, then it’s definitely going to be an excellent week! My hubby J seriously loves toffee but I’m a bad wife and never make it for him. Although I’ll be sure to make it for him now that I have your recipe! Thanks for sharing and saving my marriage 😉 hahahahaha!
