I was given this recipe by a neighbour who had been given it years ago by a friend of her mother who in turn had been given it by her mother - you get the idea - it's an old recipe but a good one - it is very sticky though and takes two days to set enough to be hammered into small pieces.
Black Treacle Toffee
half a pound of butter
1lb brown sugar
1lb black treacle
1 large tin condensed milk
juice of one lemon
Put all the ingredients into a heavy bottomed pan.
Bring to the boil stirring all the time.
Boil for 25 minutes.
Test to see if it is ready by dropping a little mixture into a bowl of cold water
if it turns into 'balls' it is ready.
Pour into greased trays and allow to set
