I flipped through my recipe box this morning while breakfast was cooking, and found this old favorite:
Easy Toffee Candy
makes 50 pieces – great for gifts
1 1/4 cups butter, divided
35-40 saltine-style crackers
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cups finely chopped walnuts
- Melt 1/4 cup butter; pour into foil-lined jelly roll pan.
- Arrange crackers over butter, evenly spaced.
- Melt remaining butter; add sugar and boil 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and add condensed milk. Spread over crackers.
- Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes, until bubbly and slightly darkened.
- Remove from oven, cool 1 minute, and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand 5 minutes (until chocolate is soft and melty) and spread.
- Sprinkle with nuts; press lightly into chocolate.
- Cool; refrigerate until chocolate is set.
- Remove foil and cut candy.
Yum! Rich, delicious and very impressive, and much faster and easier than it sounds. No one can ever guess the saltine cracker base – it tastes a lot like Almond Roca.

These sound yummy!
I have made these before and they are truly delicious!!
We call these “Poor Man’s Toffee” and they are completely addicting (in a marvelous way!). However, we’ve never made ‘em with the sweetened condensed milk. Oh, the yum factor just went up in my book. I will definitely have to try them this way!
Thanks for the reminder of a yummy treat!
Mmmm, that looks yummy. We’ll be trying these out in the next day or two! Thanks!
We did try these, and oh. My.
They are so delicious. I love toffee anyway, and this stuff is addicting. Pipsqueak made them herself, and I think she might should have boiled the sugar just a wee bit longer, but still- delicious. This is definitely a keeper of a recipe!
Ooooh, yum! I don’t have a lot of baking stuff around the house, but I do have those ingredients, minus the chocolate chips. I may have to splurge and go get some!
I’m heading out to the store to get the ingredients! Thanks for posting this recipe!
