A handmade christmas: chocolate nut toffee

This year we've tried to make most of our Christmas gifts, and we chose things that we think our close friends and family would probably enjoy. I'll share some of those ideas here, because I truly believe the best gifts are handmade. This first batch was chocolate nut toffee, which I made for my book loving friends (with a little help from A. because the toffee part is kind of tricky). The recipe is from Apples for Jam, one of my favorite recipe books.
