I have 2 bits of advice that seemed to make it come together.<br /><br />1. Make sure the heat is high enough. Med to med-high. You're making candy so I think it has to be hot enough for the ingredients to come together.<br /><br />and<br /><br />2. Stir fast and stir constantly. The first two times I made it this year I think I stirred too slowly and it separated both times. Oh and do not walk away from the stove even for one second. <br /><br />I hope it works this time!kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291233186222706297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-40901380414397270232009-12-31T11:17:40.812-08:002009-12-31T11:17:40.812-08:00I tried to make this and it kept separating.

My grandmother insisted on grated Hershey bars, but in recent years I've gone with the lazy girl's version of milk chocolate chips. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822465440594746507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-79954222710707966882009-12-23T19:19:06.387-08:002009-12-23T19:19:06.387-08:00Mel- yes, everything Strauss is better.

But if you're unsure, definitely prep more to begin with. You'll see how much you need as you go.<br /><br />Mandy - hmmm. I think pre-melted chocolate would be pretty messy? Like it would ooze off the sides of the toffee and stuff. Melting on the toffee makes it a little more controlled and you can manage the amount of chocolate better. But that's just my opinion!<br /><br />Lisa Marie - I'm so glad you did!kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291233186222706297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-34682057428552358042009-12-23T17:59:14.219-08:002009-12-23T17:59:14.219-08:00Wow, I couldn't resist making your toffee reci...Wow, I couldn't resist making your toffee recipe.
