Easy Toffee

By Liz Francis

• 1/2 c butter (1 stick)
• 1/2 c packed light brown sugar
  • Over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes withOUT stirring.
• 35 saltine crackers
• 1 pkg (8 squares) Baker’s choice chocolate, finely chopped
• chopped walnuts (optional)

Line a cookie sheet with tinfoil and put the saltine crackers on the tinfoil in one layer making sure they all touch each other (will not fill up the whole pan).

Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the crackers and spread into an even layer.

Bake for 4-7 minutes at 400 degrees.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate.  Wait 1 minute for chocolate to melt a little bit and then spread chocolate into an even layer.

While chocolate is still spreadable, sprinkle nuts or coconut or any other toppings you want on chocolate.

Allow to cool and then break into pieces.  This makes a great treat around the holidays and I put chopped up peppermint candy canes on the chocolate.
