Toffee Bars

This is a great recipe for busy mom's at Christmas time. It is something that little children can help make and they are good(!) to eat as well. You may think the crackers are a weird ingredient, but when this done, it is similar to when you cover salty pretzels with chocolate, but this is better. This is simple to make, uses ingredients most of us have on hand and doesn't take long--kind of instant Christmas goodies....

Ingredients:
Whole Soda Crackers
1 cup butter (not margarine)
1 cup brown sugar
1 Large pkg chocolate chips
1 cup nuts (pecans, walnuts, whatever you like or have on hand), if desired

Instructions:
Put whole soda crackers 1 layer thick all over a Pam sprayed 9 by 13 pan. Boil butter and sugar together for three minutes stiring always. Pour butter and sugar mixture over crackers. Bake at 400 degrees for three minutes. Cool for three minutes. Spread with 1 large package chocolate chips. These will melt on the hot mixture as you spread the chocolate around. Sprinkle on 1 cup chopped nuts of any kind or leave the nuts off. Cool. Cut into pieces.
