Toffee Bars

Toffee Bars are one of my favorite cookies.  I really like the combination of salty and sweet.  This recipe hits that nail on the head and reminds me of salted caramel.  It's very easy to make and is a nice gift cookie.  Hope you like this as much as we do!

Start by laying out 1 stack of saltines onto a 15 x 10 inch baking sheet with edges.  Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Then melt 1 cup brown sugar, 1 stick butter, and 2/3 cup butter-flavor Crisco in a heavy saucepan.  Bring to a boil and stir for 3 minutes.  Remove from heat.


Pour the mixture over the saltines and spread to cover.  Put in the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
Take the sheet out of the oven and sprinkle a bag of dark chocolate chips over the top.


After 10 minutes, once the chocolate is melted, spread with a spatula to cover the surface.  Put the pan in the freezer (or outside if it's winter!) to cool.  Break in pieces after 30 minutes.  Store at room temperature.
