It's very interesting to find out that it isn't. I was wonder what are some good types of toffees to make for around Christmas time? this recipe sounds delicious. i’ve always thought that toffee would be hard to make.

If you want to buy an all purpose thermometer, then I would certainly recommend a digital one. For toffee and other caramel and or candy types, a thermometer made with mercury. A mercury thermometer will be reading the temperature in a stable manner. A digital one is a bit more tricky as the temperature jumps up and down in very hot (Candy - caramel mixtures), however, a digital thermometer is perfect for most other applications. All the best!

After cooking, it should only take minutes for it to become crisp. Make sure your thermometer works correctly. All the best, Eddy Dear Shannon,

I just made it, but have a quick question, How long does it take for the toffee to harden, rightnow is has been cooling for about 45 monutes, and 20 of those were in a freezer. Is is still pliable and feels as though it would have a softer toffee feel. I want it to be CRUNCHY .... did I do something wrong, or do I need to cool it a lot longer? I want it to turn out yummy, and it does taste yummy (what was left over in the pan) but I just wish I knew if I did something wrong.
