Pecan Espresso Toffee
I found this recipe in the new Southern Living (which happens to be one of my favorite magazines). There are several recipes that I want to try and post for you. This looked like a fun candy to make. Give it for gifts or have it on hand during a party.
Be very careful as this is an Incredibly hot candy. If you get any on you while you are cooking, you will blister/ burn yourself (I know because I did). When pouring into your pan, wear pot holders and maybe long sleeves. Don't let it splash on you.
