Saltine Toffee Squares

How is it that we have a Thackeray & Family food blog without these treats?? I am not sure how we lasted so long. Lucky for you, I had some saltines that needed to go, FHE treats to prepare and a camera to snap some pictures. The perfect combo for a Thackeray Family recipe that NEEDS to be on here. :) And here it is...

Saltine Toffee Squares

Ingredients:
40(ish) saltines
1c. butter
1c. brown sugar
12oz milk chocolate chips, room temperature
chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with buttered foil. (I sprayed mine with cooking spray - worked great.) Fill with approximately 40 saltines.  Like so...

Next, take the butter and brown sugar and melt it in a saucepan on the stove. Bring it to a gentle boil. Once at a boil, drop heat to medium and boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over prepared crackers. Bake for 5 min. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips all over the toffee covered crackers. I let mine sit about 1 minute more in the oven with the door propped just to make sure the chips were soft. When they are soft. Spread them all over the toffee squares. If desired, which we did (except one row), sprinkle with nuts (we chose pecans). Like so...

Cut into squares while warm. I refrigerated our uneaten toffee squares for 30 min to get the chocolate to set up completely. I then stored them in an air tight container.


You are welcome! :)
