  It my Nan's Recipe , but I have used a 6 inch by 12 inch aprox toffee tin, I think you will have to experiment a little, I was lucky to get the recipe out of her she never used a scale or anything to measure ingredients. Sorry I cant be more specific. Hope you enjoyed the Boiled cake I made some after easter and made them in loaf tins - hence the photo. More convenient for taking to our caravan in aberystwyth!
