Hazelnut Toffee

The Willamette Valley produces a lot of hazelnuts, so this recipe truly represents our neck of the woods. I always make plenty of this delicious toffee to serve at Christmas and give as gifts. —Earlene Ertelt, Woodburn, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
