WHITE CHOCOLATE TOFFEE
"I think the ultimate comfort food might be candy - any kind of candy, from a store-bought Snickers bar to handmade chocolate truffles. In addition to giving us that wonderful sugar rush, candy makes us feel like we're kids again. When I had my specialty-food store, Barefoot Contessa, the checkout counter was piled high with glassine bags filled with candy - not fancy liqueur-soaked bittersweet truffles; rather, bags of old-fashioned candy corn and M&M's. I started making the bags one year because I thought they'd be fun for Christmas, and they were so popular that I just kept making them all year. When customers were checking out, they'd pick up a bag and say, "Oh, the kids will love these!" Sure, I would think. The kids. The kids will never even see them because you're going to eat those malted milk balls on the way home! While store-bought candy is a treat, there really is nothing like homemade candy. Making candy sounds complicated, but for this White Chocolate Toffee you don't even need a candy thermometer. You just make a caramel, pour it into a cake pan, melt some white chocolate to pour on top, then sprinkle it with all kinds of crunchy, salty and sweet dried fruits and nuts. The hardest part of the process is waiting the two hours for the toffee to harden before you break it into shards and eat it!" says Ina.

Steps:
- Generously grease a 9-by-12-inch metal cake pan with butter, making sure all the sides and corners are greased. Combine the butter, sugar, vanilla and kosher salt in a medium (10- to 11-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts. Continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the mixture turns a pale golden color. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a deep caramel color. (Be careful, it will be extremely hot!) Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan, tilting the pan to distribute it evenly. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then use a paring knife to score lines in large irregular serving pieces. Allow the toffee to cool for 5 minutes, then retrace the lines you drew with the paring knife.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (see Cook's Note). Pour the chocolate over the toffee, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Immediately sprinkle on the cashews, pistachios, ginger and cranberries so they're evenly distributed. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours, until the chocolate is completely set. Break into pieces along the scored lines and serve at room temperature.

TINA'S TOFFEE
Edelweiss Chocolates in Beverly Hills makes a delicious toffee, but when I want to make it at home, I turn to my aunt Tina's toffee recipe. Every holiday season my aunt Tina and my mom would make a giant batch, with aunt Tina in charge and my mom as a helper. Our house would be filled with sheet pans of cooling toffee, with aunts and friends chopping nuts and melting chocolate. It's the go-to Thomas family gift, and I can't imagine a Christmas without it.

Steps:
- Grease 2 sheet pans with butter.
- Heat the butter, sugar, kosher salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon. When the mixture starts to boil, turn the heat up to medium. Cook until the mixture reaches 302 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the vanilla, stirring to incorporate. Be careful not to burn yourself or the mixture.
- Immediately pour the hot toffee into the 2 prepared baking sheets and smooth until evenly coated and 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Put the pans into the fridge to let the toffee cool (this will take several hours, or leave the toffee in overnight, uncovered).
- Once the toffee has cooled, carefully loosen the pieces (you can do this by hand or with a knife). If it cracks, it's not a big deal.
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, stirring to combine. Use a spatula to coat one side of the toffee with the chocolate, and then immediately top with a heavy sprinkle of the pecans and a sprinkling of flaked sea salt. This must be done immediately, because the cold toffee can cause the chocolate to harden before the pecans can stick. Put the toffee back in the fridge to cool the chocolate. Once it has hardened (it takes about an hour), flip and coat the other side with the chocolate, pecans and sea salt. You will probably have chocolate and pecans left over, which you can use for more toffee. Let the toffee cool in the fridge until hardened again.
- When the toffee is ready, crack it into irregular pieces with your hands. Bag them or stick them in a tin for your own enjoyment.
