good question! my recipes always use unsalted butter unless I say otherwise. i think unsalted butter is the default, and also, generally, if a recipe calls for added salt, it means that unsalted butter is used.

i love toffee but prefer it without the nuts, too. so i will definitely try this recipe. thx! quick question…. when a recipe calls for “butter”, does that typically mean unsalted or salted butter? i can never figure this out!

Just to let ya’ll know, I tried to “alter” this recipe by cooking it in the microwave, DON’T EVEN BOTHER, after the mixture came over the top of the bowl, it oozed all over the microwave and made a big ole mess and I spent 30 minutes cleaning it up. I ended up with about 1/4 cup of the original amount and that burned. After wasting all of that butter, I gave up, sticky syrup was everywhere, went to sit down and drink a cup of coffee and sat on my cat, needless to say, Eddie was not a happy camper, then walked by my husband’s chair and stumped my little toe, which is still black after a week. HOWEVER, I did try this recipe again, and used light corn syrup, it is HEAVENLY, and light corn syrup does work great. Thanks Katy for another good one!!!!!

I made pumpkin gooey butter cakes and brought them into work this morning. Felt temporarily guilty, but my New Year’s resolution is to clean out my pantry and I had 6 cans of pumpkin and 3 boxes powdered sugar to use up! This toffee looks fantastic.

This looks great. I am with you on the no nuts thing. I’m a candy purist!

I am a huge toffee fan. I love it plain, but it’s even better mixed into ice cream, brownies, cookies, etc.

I love that you are not doing anything healthy.
And Love the look of that toffee, isn’t it a pity we can’t grab the things we drool for from our computer.
If i could able to do that i would grab the whole plate and your screen will be blank. Delicous.
