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!
Here's some of the steps in pictures.

Until Next Time,
Much Love, Reba
