FAST AND EASY TOFFEE CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cover cookie sheet with a single layer of aluminum foil. Cover foil with some cooking spray. Add saltines in one even layer.
• Bring real butter, brown sugar, and extract to a boil and cook until sugar is melted and mixture thickens and starts to look like caramel. Pour evenly over saltines and spread to cover every cracker. Place in middle of preheated oven.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes or until toffee becomes bubbly all over even in the center of the pan. Remove from oven. Immediately pour chocolate chips evenly on top of candy and let melt. After about 3 minutes the chocolate should be melted enough to spread gently over the entire toffee surface. Now add any topping you wish! I like to gently press them into chocolate so they do not fall off when eating them! Usually just take another piece of sprayed foil and cover entire surface then gently pat it all down and remove foil. Do not push too hard or foil will stick.
• Let cool for a few minutes then place in fridge or freezer until hard. Break into pieces and and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE SKOR BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine first amount of butter, brown sugar and flour.
• Press this mixture evenly into an ungreased 13x9 baking pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until crust is golden.
• Place baking pan on a wire rack to cool while you make the filling; leave oven on.
• In a medium-sized saucepan, heat milk and the 2 tbsp butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened-- it will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.
• Spread this over baked crust in baking pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden; remove from oven but leave oven on.
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over top; return to oven for 2 minutes, or until the chips soften and are shiny.
• Remove from oven (turn oven off now) and spread the chocolate evenly; then sprinkle the Skor bits over the chocolate, pressing down with a very light touch to embed the Skor bits into the chocolate.
• You could cut them into bars right away, but they will cut easier if allowed to chill in the refrigerator for at least a few minutes.
• Best served at room temperature, not cold.
