I tried the recipe with butter fresh from the fridge and the resulting goo was pretty stiff (though things did work out in the end). I then tried it with room temp butter and everything worked out better. Also, you might be cooking the goo too hard--it should only be simmering. Try easing up on that and starting your 5 minutes when the boil first begins. Hope this helps!gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368850949339758604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-60834823105589196352013-12-23T22:07:04.619-05:002013-12-23T22:07:04.619-05:00I had same problem as JLEW.

Try freezing the entire pan of toffee before you peel off the foil--that might do the trick. Also, make sure the foil comes up over the sides of the pans so the liquid can't seep under the foil and crackers.
