See's Candy...

In California, See's is known for their delicious candy. These may not be the original recipe, but they sure taste like it. I made the Toffee one year for Christmas presents. When making candy that has to set to a hard stage,the weather plays an important part in if it sets up.I have had bad luck with it setting up when making this on a damp dreary day.
