I would make this again but add 2/2 Cup more sugar.

I made the vanilla sauce following the recipe and then poured half the sauce into a small pitcher then added 1 Tablespoon Jack Daniels to the remaining sauce and heated till alcohol evaporated. Both sauces excellent!

I added almonds instead of peanuts. When I make it again I will add more baking soda to see if it will create more foam and crumble easier when cooled. I should have stuck with using peanuts instead of almonds as this recipe is no substitute for English Toffee with Almonds

I love the way this recipe turned out. It was moist and not overly sweet. I have no concerns whether it is a traditional Southern Cornbread recipe as it is delicious; family and friends love it. I grew up with a thinner unsweetened cornbread with no added flour or leavening agent. My father crumbled his piece up and added it to his glass of milk and ate the soggy cornbread with a spoon; also a Southern tradition. It's not a matter of right or wrong, southern or northern... its a matter of people free to make a choice as what pleases their pallet no matter where they live. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
