Recipe Notes
Use smooth or crunchy peanut butter depending on the texture you prefer. Work quickly once the peanut butter has been mixed in, as the mixture begins to firm up as it cools. Store the toffee in an airtight container with parchment paper between the layers to prevent sticking. Warning: This recipe contains peanuts and is not suitable for anyone with a peanut allergy.Wine Advice
A rich Tawny Port complements the sweet caramel and roasted peanut flavors beautifully. A glass of Moscato also pairs wonderfully with this sweet homemade candy.Nutrition values
