National English Toffee Day falls on January 8 every year, celebrating the decadence of America's beloved toffee variant and urging us to savor this cherished confection. Did you know that the English toffee enjoyed by millions across the U.S. has slight variations from the original? This delectable variant of traditional toffee originated in England and is occasionally referred to as American toffee or buttercrunch due to its preparation with white sugar and various nuts. The original English toffee lacks nuts but is equally delightful.
