Delectable, yummy and maybe a little addicting, this version of English Toffee will get you rave reviews. But no one will know what a breeze it was to make.
I originally got this English Toffee recipe from Cooks.com, called Toffee Bars but I’ve switched a few things up.
English Toffee
EASY & DELICIOUS ENGLISH TOFFEE
Ingredients
- About 12 bars Graham Crackers
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 15X10 cookie sheet with nonstick foil, parchment paper or buttered wax paper. I like to use a jelly roll type pan so you don't have to worry about the melted butter running off the sides. Break up the graham crackers into halves or quarters sections and the line the cookie sheet with them, close together. You can break up any sections more if you need to, to fill all the gaps, they really won't show.
- Place the butter and sugar in a small saucepan and melt over medium heat. Let it boil gently for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and spoon butter mixture all over the graham crackers. You can spread it around to cover evenly.
- Bake at 325° for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool for just a minute. Sprinkle the chocolate chips all over. Give them a couple minutes to melt and then spread chocolate evenly over graham crackers. Immediately sprinkle pecans (or other nut of your choice) over melted chocolate. Sometimes I will press down gently to make sure nuts adhere well.
- Let cool until chocolate is set. Peel off backing and break up toffee into pieces. They don't have to be uniform. Enjoy.
And that’s it! A gift-worthy Christmas treat that your family and friends will love.
If I had to pick just one other Christmas cookie to make it would have to be these Pecan Sandies from Taste of Home. When I was little my mother and I made them. Our recipe was just called “Sands” and we would shape them into more of an oblong shape. They are a short, crumbly cookie with pecans and dusted in powdered sugar. So yummy, and tastes like Christmas.
