That's Sweet: 10-Minute Toffee Treats

This recipe comes courtesy of my talented mother-in-law, who has co-authored a book full of Christmas recipes, ideas, and stories including this amazingly simple yet impressively delicious candy recipe:

10-Minute Toffee Treats

1 sleeve saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil, then line with a single layer of saltines. In saucepan bring butter and sugar to boil. Boil 3 minutes. Immediately our over saltines. Spread. Bake for only 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over top. Wait 4 minutes and spread. Sprinkle with nuts. Cool and break into pieces.
