Recipe(tried): Poor Man's Toffee/Heath Bar Cookies etc.

Here's five recipes from the archives, all pretty much the same - I've only eaten them but haven't made them myself - but maybe this weekend I'll try, I'm sure there's a box of crackers I need to get rid of!

Heath Bar Cookies

56 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

Line a large cookie sheet with foil. Spray with cooking spray. Lay saltines to cover cookie sheet. Melt butter over medium heat, add brown sugar, bring to boil and boil for 1 minute only. Remove from heat and add baking soda. Spread mixture over crackers (make sure all crackers are covered with mixture). Bake for no longer than 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips -- spread the chocolate as it melts over all crackers. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Let cool overnight or until set.Recipe: Poor Mans Toffee
