TERRIBLY TERRIFIC TOFFEE

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup unsalted butter (no margarine allowed)
1 cup brown sugar, packed tightly
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
40 saltine crackers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan or a 12x17-inch cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Lay a flat layer of crackers out on the foil. Melt the sugar and butter until a boil is reached. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened and sugar is completely dissolved. Pour this mixture over the crackers and spread to coat evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the toffee becomes bubbly. After removing the pan from the oven, let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, let them soften and melt, and then spread them into an even layer. (You can add nuts, cracker crumbs, or whatever else floats your boat at this point.) Let cool and, if desired for expediting purposes, refrigerate until hardened. Break into pieces the size of your choice.

Tips for Making the Best Toffee

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer. This is the best way to ensure that the toffee reaches the correct temperature.
  • Be patient. Toffee takes time to make. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a sticky mess.
  • Be careful. Hot toffee is very sticky and can cause burns. Be careful when handling it.
  • Store toffee properly. Toffee can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Conclusion

Toffee is a delicious and versatile candy that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be eaten on its own, used as a topping for ice cream or other desserts, or even used in baking. If you've never made toffee before, I encourage you to give it a try. It's easier than you might think, and the results are worth it.
