English toffee is a candy made from a sugar syrup, usually lightly caramelized, enriched with a generous amount of butter. Toasted almonds or raisins are often added.
The process of making toffee involves boiling the ingredients until the mix is stiff enough to be pulled into a shape which holds and has a glossy surface. The resulting mixture will typically be poured into a shallow tray and allowed to cool to form a sheet.
There is some debate as to which is the traditional English style and which is an Americanized version. English toffee is a little different from regular toffee. It is a very buttery toffee available in both chewy and hard versions. A popular version of English toffee is covered in chocolate and almond pieces.
