So easy and YUMMY!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this all the time for family and friends - everyone loves it! I didn't have any saltines today but had a craving, so I... made it with mini pretzels instead and sprinkled peanut butter chips on top of the chocolate. SOOO good!Read more

Versatile Candy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

With various substitutions this candy is great for seasonal bake sales. Instead of almond, use vanilla or peppermint. Use... white chocolate, not milk chocolate or use peanut butter and chocolate chips, etc. Sprinkle red or green sugar on top. Decorate to fit the occasion. Put a few in clear bags and they sell out quickly. Read more

Minor Recipe Modifications
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe, it is ease and tastes like toffee. I have a few personal modifications. I leave out the almond... flavoring, personally I think it tastes better without it. I also crush the crackers and mix them in to the butter and brown sugar mixture then scoop it in to the pan and flatten with a rolling pin. This gives a finer , more consistant texture and is more crisp and toffee like if that is what you want. Excellent recipe as it is though, just a personal choice.Read more

Easy and Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a crazy addictive recipe. I ate way too much of it when pregnant with my son. It makes a great holiday gift when you... sprinkle pecans on the top. It tastes like toffee.Read more
