Saltine Cracker Toffee

This is a great gift idea for Christmas. Line tins with plastic wrap

& fill with this yummy candy! We have given this as teacher gifts

before. They always love it!

1 tube saltine crackers
1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. chopped pecans-optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line cookie sheet with foil (up the edges too). Line with saltine crackers in a single layer. In a saucepan combine butter & sugar. Bring to a boil & boil for 3 minutes. Immediately pour over saltine crackers & spread the mixture to cover the crackers completely. Bake for 5-6 minutes. Remove from oven & sprinkle chocolate chips over the top & let sit for a few minutes until melted. Spread chocolate over all the crackers & sprinkle with pecans. Cool completely & break into pieces. Yummy!
