I want to make this for Christmas. So I am wondering if you can make it ahead of time and freeze it? Thank you.

Nancy, the recipe says to store it in a cookie tin. No freezing needed.

I added semi sweet chocolate chips to melt on top after it baked in the oven. My family couldn't get enough of it and I had to make a second batch!

I have tried several times to make them become totally brittle and still some remain semi-brittle. I have followed this and 2 other recipes with the same results. Any suggestions please?

You should use a good candy thermometer because it's much easier that way!

Mine came out gooey except where it stuck to the edges of the cookie sheet. Baked 10 minutes at 350, cooled for 30 minutes. What did I do wrong?

Hi Kathy,

The mixture should be at a full rolling boil for about a minute before tranferring to the cookie sheet.

Make sure your oven is preheated until it reaches 350°F and that once it does reach temperature, you don't open the oven door for too long which would allow the heat to escape.

Can I use all butter rather than half margarine?
