Holiday Toffee Candy

By Leave a Comment

Holiday Toffee Candy

Ingredients

  • — Plain or Butter Flavored Crackers (Saltines, Ritz, Keebler Club Crackers — any of them will work)
  • — 1 cup butter (salted or unsalted, your choice)
  • — 1 cup packed brown sugar
  •  — 6 tbsp. creamy peanut butter
  • — 2-1/2 cups chocolate chips of your choice (milk, semisweet or white)
  • — Assorted candies, chopped nuts or holiday sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Coat a large cookie sheet WELL with nonstick spray and line cookie tray with crackers, breaking some into pieces to fit any small gaps. 
  3. Combine butter and brown sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Once at a boil, let it continue to boil, without stirring, for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and spread mixture over crackers (it will be a little thick and slightly hard to spread).
  5. Place tray in oven and bake for 5 minutes. While crackers are baking, melt peanut butter on the stove top over medium-low heat in a large saucepan.
  6. Once mostly melted, add chocolate chips and continue to melt mixture until thoroughly combined.
  7. Remove tray from oven and spread chocolate over cracker/toffee layer.
  8. Top with candies, nuts or sprinkles as you like.
  9. Refrigerate or freeze tray for 1-2 hours until candy has completely chilled through.
  10. Cut or break chilled candy into whatever size pieces you like. Store candy in an airtight container in refrigerator until ready to plate and serve.

**NOTES: This recipe can also be made with crushed pretzels or layered pretzel thins, but the toffee is much harder to spread over the pretzels. Also, if you desire a thinner chocolate layer, the chocolate chips can be reduced by about a cup and the peanut butter reduced by 2 tbsp.***

Simple at Home S’Mores Treats

By Leave a Comment

 

Ingredients

  • One bag jumbo marshmallows (regular size would work if you prefer)
  • One bag milk chocolate melts
  • Graham cracker crumbs (I used a box of graham cracker pie crust mix)

 

Directions

  1. Melt chocolate discs as directed on package (usually low heat setting 10 seconds at a time, stirring between heat cycles).
  2. Dip bottom half of marshmallow in melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  3. Immediately dip the chocolate covered portion of the marshmallow in graham cracker crumbs.
  4. Place marshmallow graham cracker side down on wax paper and allow chocolate to harden.

For a tasty Christmas treat, replace the graham cracker crumbs with crushed peppermint candy canes!
