I just tried this. It was the first time ever making toffee, and I'm pretty sure I did it wrong, because I created sweet, yellow water. :/

Toffee is really hard to make, don't get discouraged: I burn toffee recipes most of the time myself ;) But they do come out awesome if I pull it off the range at the perfect time!
