Saltine Toffee Candy

I made this “toffee” to include in some little gift boxes I made for friends. Because of the use of saltines, this is much quicker to make than regular toffee. Plus, the ingredients are ones I usually have on hand. I packaged pieces of this in cellophane bags before putting it in the Christmas gift boxes.

Saltine Toffee Candy
Ingredients:
1 stick butter
1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
saltines – enough to line your baking sheet
1-2 cups semi chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used almonds and pecans.)

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 400°.
-Line your baking sheet with foil.
-Neatly place your saltines on the foil lined baking sheet.
-In a sauce pan, melt butter and add brown sugar.
-Allow butter & sugar to caramelize and boil for 2-3 minutes.
-Pour mixture over the saltines.
-Bake saltines in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
-Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the saltines.
-Allow it to rest for 2 minutes – enough for chocolate chips to melt.
-Using a rubber spatula or spreader, spread the melted chocolate over the saltines to evenly coat.
-Sprinkle the top with chopped nuts.
-Refrigerate to harden the chocolate.
-Break into random pieces and enjoy!
