MICROWAVE CRACKER TOFFEE
Steps:
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the saltines in a square on the lined cookie sheet and set aside.
- Put the butter, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water in a large microwave-safe bowl but do not stir.
- Microwave on high until the mixture just begins to turn lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Continue to microwave in additional 30-second or 1-minute increments if needed to achieve the golden color.
- Carefully pour the cooked candy over the saltines on the cookie sheet. Let stand 1 minute. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee and let stand until the chips are shiny, 1 to 2 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread the melted chips over the toffee. Sprinkle with sea salt, if using. Chill in the fridge until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes. Break the candy into bite-sized pieces.

Very easy, every day ingredients and quick. I believe the recipe said you could use pecans or almonds, but there are plenty of almond toffe recipes and besides, I like pecan toffee!

Steps:
- Butter a square 9x9 or 8x8 pan.
- Spread pecans in bottom of pan.
- Microwave brown sugar and butter in a 1 quart microwavable bowl, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring every minute.
- Immediately pour over pecans, spreading evenly.

- When melted,(about 1-2 minutes) spread evenly.
- For more even cutting, cut lightly into 1-1 1/2 inch squares in the pan while still soft, right after spreading the chocolate.
- Refrigerate until hard, cut into squares along marks.
Tips:
- Use a microwave-safe dish that is large enough to accommodate the toffee mixture. A 9x13 inch dish is a good option.
- Stir the toffee mixture frequently while it is cooking in the microwave. This will help to prevent the mixture from scorching.
- Be careful not to overcook the toffee mixture. Overcooked toffee will be hard and brittle.
- Allow the toffee to cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
- Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Toffee can be used as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or other desserts.
- It can also be used as a filling for candy bars or cookies.
