Sweet!

Each year the Watson family reunion is a "bring a covered dish" affair. I usually bring something sweet because that is easiest since we live soooo far away and sweets can make the eight hour drive. This year I took graham cracker toffee squares and a few of you wanted the recipe. They are super simple and as long as you have the graham crackers and toffee bits you can whip them up quickly. It makes quite a few but they never last long, around here anyway!
Enjoy!!


Yummy with a capital Y.

  • 1 1/2 packages graham crackers, depending on your cookie sheet
  • 1 package toffee bits
  • sliced almonds, sometimes I chop them if I have time :)
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • chocolate chips, this time I tried the mini chips
  • kosher salt

Preheat oven to 350. In a saucepan cook butter and sugar over medium, medium-high heat until frothy and syrupy but not brown - only takes a few minutes. While your butter mixture is cooking line your largest cookie sheet with foil and fill with graham crackers, sides touching. Sprinkle the crackers with almonds and toffee bits. Pour butter mixture over crackers and bake for about 12 minutes, until bubbly. Once out of the oven and still hot sprinkle with chocolate chips and salt. Once cool cut into two inch squares. Don't hate me...they are way too good. You can't eat just one!

*The friend that gave me the recipe toasts her almonds and chops them. I don't usually have time for those steps. I never toast my almonds but sometimes I chop them. No complaints yet! I tried the Wal-Mart brand crackers and was not happy with the result. I usually use the HEB brand, I have never tried the pricey brands.
