Upon inspiration from Anna at Cookie Madness and in need of an easy snack to take to Bible study tonight, I made the ever popular cracker candy. I made some slight modifications to the recipe. I also found that I prefered the candy straight out of the refrigerator rather than at room temperature. But then again, that tends to be how I like fruit as well...wait...that doesn't really make much sense does it? Candy...fruit? Anyway...


Cracker Candy
24 whole wheat saltine crackers (covers bottom of 13 X 9 pan)
1 stick margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
hand full of pecans (optional)
2/3-1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 F. In a 13 X 9 pan place a sheet of parchment paper. Cover this with the saltine crackers. Put pecans on top of crackers. Melt margarine in a sauce pan. Add the sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Immediately pour over crackers and spread. Place in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately put chocolate on top. After a minute or so, spread the now soft chocolate. Place in refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes. Remove from pan and paper. Break into toffee pieces and enjoy!
