POORMAN'S TOFFEE

Steps:

• Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, then line with crackers.
• Preheat oven to 350* F.
• In a sauce pan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat until it reaches hard ball texture - 250*F on a candy thermomator OR if you don't have one when a small amount is dripped into chilled water a ball is formed that is rigid but still pliable.
• Pour the mixture over crackers and put in the oven until bubblely (about 5 minutes).
• Take out and sprinkle chocolate chips over crackers and candy then return to oven until the chocolate chips melt a little (2 - 5 min).
• Remove from oven again and spread chocolate evenly around, sprinkle with walnuts if you wish.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 to 2 hours then peel off foil and break or cut into pieces.

POOR MAN'S TOFFEE

Steps:

• 1. Line a 13 X 9 or close to that size, pan with foil. (I use the non-stick type and it can be reused over and over).
• 2. Place graham crackers on the foil with entire bottom covered in crackers. If you have any space, just break some crackers and fill it in with the broken pieces.
• 3. Combine butter, sugar in a saucepan; cook until it's melted about 2 minutes. Add nuts. Remove from stove and set aside.
• 4. Pour buttery mixture over the crackers and spread to sides. Don't worry if it's thin in spots--when it heats it will spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes--my oven bakes fast so I watch it at 8 minutes! It shouldn't be very brown--just golden brown. Remove and cool. (I put mine outside on the deck or you can put it in the fridge to hurry it up) Break into pieces and watch it disappear fast!
