How to Make Imitation Toffee

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange one layer of saltine crackers evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup margarine (or oleo).
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a rolling boil. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Carefully pour the boiling sugar mixture evenly over the layer of saltine crackers.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the toffee is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately and evenly sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee.
  8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well) over the chocolate chips. Gently press the nuts into the chocolate using a spatula.
  9. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
  10. Once firm, break the toffee into pieces and enjoy!
