Donna's Toffee


In my attempt to learn how to successfully bake, I decided to host a holiday party, Cookies & Cocktails.  Everyone was to bake at least a dozen of their favorite cookies and then we'd have an old fashion cookie exchange, where everyone departs with an variety of sweets.  I chose to make Chris' mother, Donna's, infamous chocolate and walnut toffee.  It ended up being pretty simple and so delicious.  We've been quite the happy piglets this past week!
Donna's Toffee
1 sleeve of saltines         
2 sticks real butter         
12 oz chocolate chips
1 cup sugar
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Melt butter in saucepan. Add sugar and heat to boiling. About 3 min.stirring constantly. Line a cookie sheet with foil and put the saltines on it as close as possible. Pour butter and
sugar over them and bake 10min at 325 degrees.  As soon as you take out of the oven pour chocolate chips over. Spread evenly and sprinkle nuts. Put in refrigerator until fully cooled, then break up in pieces. Store in the refrigerator.
