Buttery and sweet, toffee is a beloved staple of holiday treats. With tasty mix-ins like chocolate chips, varieties of nuts, or even a dash of espresso, it's sure to disappear first from the Christmas dessert table. Since toffee is long-lasting, you can easily make a batch to gift. Simply place it in an air-tight container before wrapping.

A candy thermometer is a must for preparing this rich, buttery treat. The syrup mixture bubbles up when you sprinkle it with baking soda, so use a long-handled spoon for stirring. Because the toffee holds well at room temperature, it also makes a good gift.
