This ones for Carol

This is the easiest Christmas Candy EVER! Make 1/2 a batch if your not sure. Or if you tend to eat all the sweets in the house until they are gone.

Start with a sleeve of crackers on greased foil in a jelly roll pan.
(A cookie sheet will do, if its big enough. Just bend up the edges of the foil to avoid a mess!)
Melt 2 sticks of butter (NOT Margine) and then add 1 cup packed brown sugar.
Bring to a boil and stir 3 min. The goo will start to firm up as it cooks.
I Missed a pic. Pour the goo over the crackers and bake at 375 for 10 min.

-- missing picture --


Sprinkle on 12 oz of chips and bake for 1 additional min. Take out and spread the chocolate. Then freeze.

Here in IL in December - I just place the pan on the workbench in the garage for an hour or so...
When the choclate and toffee are set. Bring the batch back into the house, peal off the foil and break into random pieces. (try not to eat too much right away....)

This is sooooo good. I found it on a blog last year, made notes on a scrap of paper. I just found the reciepe in a kitchen draw. I am making a card for my file now.
