Christmas Treats 2013 - Terribly Terrific Toffee

Hello again. I have been meaning to write about these for about a week now. I have been so busy. :) So, here goes.

Terribly Terrific Toffee - This is the pin where I found this recipe on Pinterest.com.

I have tasted these before but I hadn't ever made them myself. Super easy and oh so good. Here we go.

Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed tightly
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
40 saltine crackers

Step One:

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 12x17 inch cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with non-stick spray. Lay a flat layer of crackers out on the foil.

Step Two:

Melt sugar and butter until a boil is reached.

Step Three:

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 5 to 6 minutes or until thickened and sugar is completely dissolved.

Step Four:

Pour mixture over crackers and spread to coat evenly. The crackers will slide around as you pour the mixture on it but it's ok. Just make sure that the crackers are still flat before you put it in the oven.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until toffee becomes bubbly. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes.

Step Five:

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the saltines and toffee. Let them soften and melt. It only takes a few minutes. Then spread the chocolate evenly on top with a rubber spatula.


Let sit until cool and set. It takes a couple hours to set completely.

Step Six:

The original pin said to break the pieces but I chose to use a knife and cut them into cracker size pieces. They resemble really thin brownies. Store in tightly sealed container and enjoy.

These are so very good that my family couldn't stay out of them while they were sitting on the stove to set. The perfect mix of sweet and salty.

That's it. Super simple just takes a little waiting for it to set. Don't forget about my contest. This post applies as well.
