Cracker Toffee
Active prep time: 15 min
Total time: 2 1/2 hrs, including chilling time
Makes: 24 servings
40 soda crackers (1 “sleeve” from an approx. 250 gm box)
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 cups chocolate chips, the best quality you can afford (one 350 gm package)
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 17×12 pan with parchment paper or heavy duty foil. Arrange crackers in pan, flat side up, and set aside.
2. Combine butter and sugar in heavy bottomed medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves, stirring frequently. Increase heat to medium high; boil 3 minutes without stirring. Pour mixture evenly over crackers; spread to cover.
3. Bake 5 to 7 minutes. Take out of oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over crackers. Let stand 1 minute to soften; spread chocolate to cover. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate 2 hours. Break into chunks and serve. Store toffee in a covered container, in fridge or other cool place, until ready to eat or give.
For toaster ovens: Use half the amount of ingredients. Set oven temperature to 325ºF. Line the toaster oven baking pan with foil. Continue with recipe.
For different variations: Garnish with salted nuts, candy sprinkles, coconut, dried fruit, granola, or flake salt. If using salt, let the chocolate cool a little before sprinkling over top.
