ingredients

1 (16 ounce) box saltine crackers, you won't need the whole box
1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 ¹⁄₂ cups chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped pecans

directions

Heat oven to 350°F.
Line a cookie sheet with foil.
Arrange crackers snugly in a single layer, filling the sheet completely, about 40 crackers.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Add the brown sugar and mix well.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over crackers, spreading as necessary.
Bake 8-10 minutes, or until the butter is bubbly.
Remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the crackers.
When the chips have softened, spread them over the crackers with a knife.
Sprinkle immediately with the nuts.
Let the cookies cool 5-10 minutes before cutting between the individual cookies with a spatula.
Remove them to a plate, keeping them in a single layer.
If you don't remove them while they are still warm, they will stick to the foil.

My cousin has made this recipe a few times. It is so simple, but soooo good!! At first I was unsure...saltines? Don''t worry, it tastes fantastic!

Although I am not Jewish, I'm always looking for desserts to take to seders with friends who are kind enough to invite me. I make this recipe with unsalted matzo and it is always a huge hit. I call it Mazel Toffee.

I was looking for a new toffee recipe because I am having trouble with the one I usually make and came across this one. It turned out great! I will be using for gifts for my husbands coworkers. I let the butter and sugar just come to a boil and had no problem with the butter separating. I put in fridge and then the freezer (I was in a hurry) for a bit and then broke into pieces and had no trouble peeling it off of the aluminum foil. Very yummy, I am trying no to eat it all myself. I am going to try the graham cracker version too.

I made this last night. It turned out different than I remembered it, but everyone loved it. I think I'll keep searching for a recipe that reminds me of the one I had before. It's very good though and easy to make!

These are great! I first had these several years ago at a neighbor's house. She called them Chocolate Soda Rocas. They are not really a cookie, but a brittle. No matter what you call them they are fantastic -- I love the saltiness from the crackers combined with the sweet. A faulous recipe to make around the holidays -- everyone is very impressed and they are very easy to make. UPDATE: I used sliced almonds in place of walnuts. Also, I sprayed the foil with cooking spray, let the mixture cool, then broke it into irregular pieces. Friends have recommended broken candy cans as a topping at the holidays, but I have not tried that. Love this recipe!
