If you love chocolate toffee candy I promise you this will be your favorite sweet from now on. To think its made from crackers.
Chocolate Toffee Cracker Crunch
I bought assorted crackers at the store and the ingredients I would buy for toffee. Here is my recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar
Semi-sweet chocolate bar (I used a huge bar at the counter).
Chopped walnuts
Foil
Cooking spray
Assorted crackers (they come in a box)
Pre-heat the oven to 350 deg. Melt the stick of butter till it melted and throw it the brown sugar till it boils and the liquid get thick and separates from the sides of the pan.
In the meantime melt your chocolate bar in the microwave first about 40 secs. Stir it really good. If it’s not melted, put it back for about 40 more secs. Stir it again and it should be smooth.
Line your crackers on a foil line cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Have your cokie sheet ready and near the oven. Pour the liquid over the crackers really good and put it in the oven for 15 mins. Take it out. Dont worry, it will be bubbly at first…..that’s ok.
Drizzle the chocolate over the toffee covered crackers, and cover with chopped walnuts or whatever toppings you want. Cool the crackers in the fridge. The chocolate will set in on the toffee and the cracker will stay crispy.
Pumpkin and Apple Garland
This was so easy to do and fun also and if you like recycyling like me you save alot of household items. These craft only took a few items but the end result was so too cute.
Ruler
Scissors
Paint (orange for pumpkins, red for apples)
Twine
Glue gun
Empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls
Paint brush
1. First, flatten the rolls and mark 1/2 inch increments from one end to the other.
2. Cut the strips. You will have more strips from the paper towel roll than the toilet roll. The pumpkin will need 6 strips...one will be cut in half for the top and bottom adjoining the three middle loops.
4. For the apple, you will have 5 strips...the fiftth will be cut in half to be the top and bottom adjoining the middle loops. Naturally, you have scraps leftover, make little 1" x 1/2 cm loops for the stems for all the pumpkins, apples and paint them brown.
5. Start painting the strips, use orange for the pumpkins, and red for the apples. Make sure you sort all the strips beforehand so that dont get painted the wrong color.
6. When they are dry, start hot gluing them, at the middle of the loops till they are together.
7. Then put a dot of glue at the bottom of each loop at the bottom and attach the strip that will adjoin them in the bottom. Do the likewise for the top strip.
8. With twine (or any kind of string) weave the pumpkin or apple, whatever is going to be first. Go through front to back and then go to the next one and give enough string in between each one so you can adjust it accordingling. Hang it wherever you desire in your home. I have mine next to my computer hanging from my candle sconce.
