Easy and delicious candy to make that all the family will enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks/10 oz/280g) butter, divided
35 to 40 soda crackers
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups (9 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan with heavy-duty foil.

Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick/2 oz/56g) butter in medium saucepan. Pour into prepared jelly-roll pan. Arrange crackers over butter, breaking crackers to fit empty spaces.

Melt remaining butter in same saucepan; add sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sweetened condensed milk. Pour over crackers.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and slightly darkened. Remove from oven; cool for 1 minute.

Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand for 5 minutes or until chips are shiny; spread evenly. Sprinkle with nuts; press into chocolate. Cool in pan on wire rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Remove foil; cut into pieces.

Makes approximately 50 pieces.

Hi Alicia and Jessie,

Here is a recipe for Plain Toffee without nuts, chocolate or flavoring.

Toffee

Ingredients

1 lb sugar (preferably Demerara)

1/3 pint water

1 1/4 oz. butter

2 level tablespoons golden syrup

1 teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions:

1. Put all ingredients into a heavy saucepan and stir over a steady heat until the sugar has disolved.

2. Bring mixture to a boil and cook until the mixture reaches the 'hard crack' stage, 290 degrees F (143 degrees C). To test for the hard crack stage drop about 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture into a cup of cold water, if it is hard then it is done, if still soft and chewy cook for a little longer and test again.

3. Pour into oiled or buttered tin and either allow to set as a slab or mark in squares as toffee becomes partially set. Break when completely set.

Variation: Use black treacle instead of golden syrup.

Definitions:

Hard crack stage: A term used in connection with making sweets to determine the temperature of a sugar and water syrup.

To Boil: Cook a liquid at a temperature of at least 100°C (212 F).

To Disolve: To add a solid to a liquid and to stir or heat it until the solid becomes an integral part of the liquid.
