FOOL’S TOFFEE (Recipe submitted by reader Lisa):
What you need:
2 sticks butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
36 Saltine crackers (I used “Half-Salt” style)
1 bag chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds (I used walnuts)
What you do:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
3. Place the Saltines close together on the tray in a single layer.
4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, blend together butter and brown sugar. Heat to boiling and boil 4 minutes.
5. Pour hot butter mixture evenly over Saltines and place cookie sheet in oven. Bake 5 minutes.
6. Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top, and spread the chocolate evenly across the crackers and butter as it begins to melt.
7. Sprinkle nuts over top, and refrigerate until cool.
8. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container. Will keep for 2 weeks.
