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.

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!

Steps:

• Place graham crackers on cookie sheet.
• Mix butter, brown sugar, karo syrup and milk. Put in microwave for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, stir for about a minute. Caramel mixture should be quite thin. Pour over graham crackers right away, and then sprinkle on chocolate chips.
• Place under med. broiler for about 30-45 seconds, watch closely. Take out of oven and spread melted chocolate chips over the top. Great treats for the kids, mom and dad too!

POOR MAN'S TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line a lightly sprayred cookie sheet with saltines - cover the whole surface breaking them to fit if necessary. Melt two sticks of butter with one cup of brown sugar. Cook at medium heat until it starts to carmelize and get a little thick. Poor over the saltines. Spread around to cover all saltines. Poor the bag of chocolate chips over that and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then use a rubber spatula to spread the softened/melted chips all over the saltines. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour and a half. Take out and use a spatula or your hands to break it up into small pieces - all the pieces will be oddly shaped - similar to peanut brittle. Keep cold and be prepared to try and control yourself - it is a little addictive!
