Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Chopping candy, such as toffee bars, can be a messy task. Grandma made the process neater and easier with a couple simple tricks. To chop crunchy candy bars, she used a rolling pin to lightly pound the bars into pieces inside a resealable plastic food storage bag. For sticky-centered bars, Grandma lightly coated the knife blade with cooking spray to prevent the candy from sticking to the blade.
