My mom is a fabulous cook, and growing up we were treated to so many yummy holiday foods. My mom used to make the most delicious, buttery toffee for friends and neighbors as gifts, and I always crave a taste of it right around Christmas. Since I'm not quite as handy as she is in the kitchen I found (courtesy of my sister, lindsay) a super easy 'faux' toffee recipe that satisfies my both my craving and my mediocre kitchen skills.
The ingredients are:
4 oz saltine crackers (one sleeve)
1 cup butter (oh ya!)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
dash of vanilla
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips or squares from a hershey's bar
crushed candy cane or chopped nuts (optional)
Then all you do is:
Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Line the cookie sheet with the crackers in a single layer. In a saucepan, bring the sugars and butter to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add about 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Immediately pour over the saltines and spread to cover crackers completely. Bake at 400 deg F for 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top and spread as they melt. Top with crushed candy cane or nuts (optional). Cool completely. Break into pieces and enjoy!

That is a both delicious and easy looking toffee recipe. Making candy of any kind is a bit tricky, but this one is a keeper. Thanks!
