This is an old fashioned recipe for crunchy lemon toffee. The kind that breaks your teeth! It's quite simple to make, and tasty. Using just granulated sugar, soft brown sugar, butter, and half of a lemon the juice and the rind. You need greaseproof paper (which you can buy in the baking isle of the supermarkets), and this is to stop your layers of it from sticking together. Then just put it in an airtight plastic tub and eat as desired...

Having never made Bonfire toffee before mum's friend who was a confectioner gave me a recipe for the hard Bonfire toffee. I asked if I wanted to make it softer and she explained how it worked. So i had a go at a fudge type chewy one and this is the result. One of neighbours young lads who came to our Bonfire night party tried some and said, "We got some from a well known supermarket before and this is better!" High praise indeed. NB only bring to the boil then simmer when milk is added like on the video - don't keep boiling it oops! You don't need to keep it in the fridge if you wrap it in greaseproof paper and keep it in a sealed plastic tub. It never lasts that long though funnily enough....
