My mom makes saltine toffee all the time and it tastes so good. It disappears in about a day ( one batch is made in a standard cookie sheet so we eat it fast ). I thought I would try it in the microwave. It worked amazingly and tasted exactly the same.
The ingredients:
2-4 saltine crackers
2 TBSP butter
2 TBSP brown sugar
1-2 TBSP chocolate chips.
Find a small square glass container and lightly grease with cooking spray.
Fill the bottom of the pan with the saltines.
Put the butter and brown sugar in a microwave safe glass container ( I would suggest a small liquid measuring cup ).
Microwave for 15 seconds and stir.
Microwave for 15 seconds and stir again.
Microwave for 15 more seconds and stir.
Pour over the saltines and spread evenly.
Microwave for a final 15 seconds.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee and let them melt.
Spread the melted chocolate over the toffee. Refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened. Makes 1-2 servings. Enjoy!
Variation: add cinnamon and vanilla to the candy before you pour it over the saltines.
This sounds delicious! I have tried something similar, and the recipe was a disaster. I am going to have to try this one! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is so good. I'm very impressed that you figured out how to make it in the microwave.
ReplyDeleteMine didn't look like this :-( Must try at least once more!
ReplyDeleteIt might be a elevation problem. We live at 6000 ft. and not at sea level so that might effect the recipe. We also have a 1800W microwave so if your's has a lower wattage you might need more cooking time. Sorry that your toffee didn't work hope that this helps and that your next try is successful.
