I believe the toffee is...1/2 cup butter melted in a small pot with 3/4 cup brown sugar. Once it's melted, stir rapidly for 7 minutes (I tried less; the toffee turned out kinda powdery), then pour into a small greased pan with chopped nuts (pecan) on the bottom. (I tried without the nuts; it was hard to get out.) If you want, you can sprinkle chocolate chips (mint chips taste funny) over the mixture, cover with a cookie sheet until the chips are soft, then spread them around, cut the toffee into squares, and let it cool.
French bread in a can is just regualr french bread, but baked in a large coffee can. If you double the recipe, don't bake it all in one can. It rises in the oven.
How so?
