TOFFEE BARS –
VALENTINE TREAT
Heat oven to
350. Line a jellyroll pan with foil and place 40 square soda crackers in it.
In a saucepan,
bring to boil: 1 cup butter (NOT margarine) and 1 cup brown sugar.
Pour it evenly
over the crackers and place in oven 3-5 minutes. (Crackers should get
“floaty”)
Remove from
oven and sprinkle 6 oz. chocolate chips evenly over crackers. Wait
5 minutes and
spread chocolate evenly. Cut while still warm. If too gooey, refrigerate to
allow to cool before storing. Yummy – like candy!
