Recipe: Salty and Sweet Chocolate Butter Toffee (using crackers)

SALTY AND SWEET CHOCOLATE BUTTER TOFFEE

"Sprinkled with toasted chopped almonds, this decadent treat features melted chocolate morsels spread over homemade butter toffee and crispy crackers."



30 saltine crackers
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (9 ounces) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted almonds

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; place crackers on prepared baking sheet 5 across and 6 down to form a 10 x 12-inch rectangle. Set aside.

Combine butter, sugar and salt in 2-quart, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees F (this should take about 20 minutes from the time you turn on the burner). It should be a rich, golden amber color. Remove from heat; immediately pour mixture over crackers. Sprinkle evenly with morsels. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Spread melted morsels over toffee with metal spatula or back of spoon. Sprinkle with almonds.

Cool for 2 hours before breaking into 30 pieces. Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
