I'm in north Texas, and planning to give the gifts around Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I think the temperature thing should be okay for my limited needs. I really appreciate all the help I've gotten from you guys!

Thank you for the help! I'm not sure what constitutes "room temp" for most people, as I am wanting to give this as gifts. I know I try to keep my house under 80°F at all times, so I would assume most other people would too?

I was thinking a sealed plastic bag and then in a decorative box for the holidays. I just wasn't sure how early I could make the toffee and if I should give the recipient a time frame in which it should be eaten.

Thank you! So after I temper the chocolate, and chill the toffee and break it up to package it, it should be okay at room temp and the chocolate won't start to melt and create a huge mess? How long do you think the toffee will keep?

I have recently started making toffee and I LOVE it! However, I have noticed that the chocolate stays soft at room temp, and I wanted to package it to use as gifts at the holidays. Can anyone suggest how I can make the chocolate solidify so I don't have this problem? I have been just using Nestle chocolate chips that I put on top of the hot toffee after pouring on a sheet pan. I let it sit for a couple of minutes and then spread it out with my offset spatula, and then I chill in the fridge for a couple of hours before breaking up.
