Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Line a baking pan with aluminum foil then spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a medium sized, heavy-bottomed, saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using). While stirring gently and very slowly, bring the mixture to a boil slowly and over steady heat. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature. Continue stirring very slowly and gently (it is a slow process). Boil 3-4 minutes or until the thermometer registers 270°-290°F and becomes lighter in color and "fluffier". Turn off the heat and add the oyster crackers."
- Now, working quickly so the brown sugar/butter mixture doesn't set up, pour the toffee/oyster crackers onto the prepared baking sheet and try to spread them out to a single layer. (If it is too difficult to spread the crackers into a single layer at this point, don't worry - it will be possible in a few minutes.)
- Sprinkle the crackers lightly with coarse sea salt or kosher salt.
- Place the crackers on a middle rack in the hot oven and bake 2 minutes.
- Remove the crackers from the oven and smooth them out to a single layer.
- Place back in the oven and bake for 3 more minutes.
- After a total 5 minutes baking time, remove from oven and place the pan on a cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes.
- Once they are cool enough to handle, pick up the edges of the aluminum foil that is under the crackers and bring the edges together so the crackers roll together.
- Remove from the foil, break into individual pieces and place on foil or parchment paper to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
OYSTER CANDY
No! It doesn't have oysters in it. It's smooth, creamy chocolate. I found it in another one of those church cookbooks I love. The recipe is simple but a bit tempermental, follow the directions carefully. I don't really know how long it takes from start to finish. It depends on how long it takes the chocolate to get to the right consistency.

Steps:
- Line a 15x10 inch baking pan with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray..(I used butter) Place crackers on pan to cover bottom, DO NOT overlap. In a saucepan, melt butter, add the brown sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour over crackers and spread until completely covered.
- Bake at 350* for 5 minutes. (crackers will float). Remove from oven. Turn oven off. sprinkle chocolate chips and walnuts, (or whatever nuts you like) over crackers. Return to oven until chocolate melts, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven. using a greased spatula press walnuts onto chocolate. Cut into 1" squares until warm...Cool completely and remove from Parchment/Foil...makes about 5 dozen
Tips:
- Use fresh oyster crackers for the best flavor and texture. Stale crackers will absorb too much chocolate and become soggy.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it's ready by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it's ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate. Overcooked chocolate will be thick and grainy.
- If you want a smoother chocolate coating, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave.
- To make the chocolate candy even more festive, you can add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or dried fruit before the chocolate hardens.
Conclusion:
Oyster cracker chocolate candy is a sweet and salty treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this recipe a try.
