The recipe is excellent as is with no substitutions or changes. I made it for dessert for a Boyscout Court of Honor and everyone gobbled it up and went back for seconds. The *only* thing I changed was in the frosting because I personally like a creamier less sweet flavor. I used a full stick of butter, half the sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

I made these for my son's birthday. My only issue with the recipe is the frosting. I made a sweeter-tasting cream cheese frosting, diced up about a cup of chocolate morsels so the pieces were smaller (and there was some chocolate 'dust' to add more flavor) and added it to the frosting. The results are amazing and the kids went nuts over them. The cream cheese frosting does make the whoopie pie very rich, but I really wanted to avoid a shortening based frosting.

Exceptional recipe! I've never really made candy before except for fudge and this Toffee turned out 100% perfect. I followed the directions exactly and neither added nor took anything out. I used a very very heavy All Clad pot, didn't stir too much, kept a close eye on it and would take it off the burner occassionally if it seemed it was getting too hot. I took the candy off the burner at about 290 degrees. I will definitely make this again.
