Toffee

It's that time of year again when I start making things in the kitchen that the holiday season just wouldn't be complete without.  Toffee candy is one of those things.  Thanks to the Gaines' family traditions I make this every November and December and we make ourselves sick off of it's goodness.   I snapped a photo of some the other night and wanted to share it for other families to enjoy. 

Ingredients:

2 sticks of butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 stack saltine crackers

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2.  Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place a single layer of saltine crackers on foil.

3.  Combine butter and brown sugar in pan on stove and boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.

4.  Pour butter and brown sugar mixture over crackers and put in oven for 5 minutes.

5.  Take out of oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips, after 3 minutes (allowing chocolate to melt a bit) spread chocolate over crackers with butter knife.

6.  Sprinkle with pecans and place in freezer for one hour.

7.  Remove foil.  Break into pieces. Store in covered container.
