Poor Man's Toffee


It's that time of year again. When I pay homage to my former roommate, Emily H. She introduced me to this stuff and the recipe comes from her. I've made it about 10 times since then. It never lasts the entire day it's made. It's devoured instantly wherever it's taken. If you need a quick contribution to a holiday party, give it a try.

Ingredients:

2 sleeves of ritz crackers
3/4 cup br. sugar
3/4 cup butter
chocolate chips
chopped nuts/sprinkles

Directions:

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, lightly spray with pan spray.
Break crackers in half, or thirds, and place on cookie sheet.
Preheat oven to 350.
Bring sugar and butter to boil for 3 minutes -- Pour mixture over crackers -- toss to evenly coat the crackers.
Bake for 5 minutes -- turn oven off.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over crackers and place back in oven to melt chocolate for 3 minutes.
Once melted, spread chocolate over crackers and top with chopped nuts or sprinkles. Best if cooled completely and then refrigerated and broken up.

Number Of Servings:Lots

Preparation Time:15 minutes?
