Our oven was on the fritz for a few weeks from the day before Thanksgiving until about a week and a half ago. Two oven parts later, it was finally fixed and I was eager to get back to baking! The first thing I chose to make was a homemade toffee recipe since I knew I had all of the ingredients on hand. I used this recipe, but I didn't do any extra toppings-- I just left mine plain.
Ingredients:
-saltine crackers (about a sleeve)
-1 c. butter (2 sticks)
-1 c. brown sugar
-10 oz. chocolate chips (about a cup and a half)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350* Fahrenheit. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet with a rim.
2. In a medium pot, melt the butter and brown sugar together.
3. Lay out the saltine crackers in a single layer on the parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
4. In the medium pot, bring the butter and brown sugar to a boil, and continue boiling for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
5. Pour the butter mixture over the saltine crackers and spread to cover all of the crackers.
6. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
7. Once removed from the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let sit for 5 minutes.
8. After 5 minutes, spread chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or mixing spoon to evenly cover all of the toffee.
9. Place in fridge or freezer to set.
10. Once cooled, break into bite-sized pieces. I've cooled this both ways (in fridge and in freezer) and placing in the fridge makes for a much easier time when it comes to breaking toffee into pieces. Store extra pieces in the fridge.
11. Enjoy!
