Notes
If you notice that the mixture is hardening too much after adding the baking soda you may have overcooked the toffee.
If the toffee mixture is cooked for too long before adding the baking soda it may become too hard. Its essential to follow the instructions closely and remove the mixture from heat as soon as it reaches the specified temperature or consistency.
