This is a great candy for the holidays. Everyone who tried it liked it. It didn't stay as hard as most toffee type candies so I left it in the fridge most of the time. My mom left hers in a bag on the counter though and loved it just like that.
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 sleeve saltines
1½-2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips (the original recipe was for 2 cups but I prefer a little less chocolate)
Directions:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and combine with brown sugar. Bring to a boil.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cover a cookie sheet with foil. Line the pan with saltines. Pour the butter and brown sugar syrup over the saltines. Some of the crackers will float so you will have to line them back up and make sure they are covered by the syrup. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and pour chocolate chips over the top. When chips are softened, use a spatula to spread it evenly across the candy. If you need this to harden very fast, you can put it in the freezer. I put it in the fridge over night. Freezing might actually help with the hardening problem I had. When it is hard enough, dump out of the pan and remove the foil. Break into pieces and enjoy.
This was eaten up before I could get a picture of the broken pieces. Obviously everyone liked this stuff. Next time I will make sure and get a picture of it broken into pieces.
