2.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF / 180°C. Coat a 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 x 1 jelly roll pan with butter.

5.
Meanwhile, combine the cream, rock sugar, butter, liqueur and nuts into a saucepan and cook over a low heat, stirring, for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and pale brown. If toffee is still runny it should be cooked a little longer. Spread the toffee mixture on top of the pastry base and cool completely. Cut into bite size squares and serve.
