Cracker Candy via Pinterest

The hubs and I love toffee candy. I recently came across this cracker candy on Pinterest and decide to give it a go this past weekend.  It's kind of similar to toffee candy and I happened to have everything on hand. It's super quick, easy and pretty good. 

Cracker Candy

1-1/2 sleeve of saltine crackers (My guess is any kind of cracker you have on hand will be fine)

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark will do)

2 cups of chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (more or less according to your liking)

Splash or two of Vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or use a silicon baking mat.

Arrange the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Cook the butter, vanilla and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir while the butter melts, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, carefully pour the mixture over the crackers on the baking sheet in an even layer.

Bake at 350 degrees for about seven minutes, until the toffee is bubbling all over. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for one minute.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee, and allow them to sit for one minute to soften and melt. Once softened, use an offset spatula or knife to spread the melted chocolate over the entire surface of the toffee in an even layer. While the chocolate is still sticky, sprinkle the top with chopped walnuts.

I popped mine in the freezer for about 15 mins until set then broke in pieces. Store in Tupperware or Ziploc bag and keep refrigerated.
