There's a cookie/candy thing for which I'm trying to find the
name/recipe. Every now and again someone brings it to a school
function, but I can never remember to ask who. It's sort of a cross
between a cookie and a candy. Whole graham cracker squares for the
base and a sort of glaze with (iirc) toffee pieces (maybe?).

Sound familiar to anyone? I can't seem to get close enough for any of
my recipe sites to come up with a decent suggestion.

I could be slightly more vague, but I'd have to work at it :-)

Thanks!

Alexis.

I think you are thinking of saltine toffee cookies. Chocolate on the bottom?
They are the most simple thing ever but they completely vanish every time. I
don't have a particular recipe but if you search with saltine toffee you
should find a few recipes. I know allrecipes has several. HTH

Sounds to me like a variation on 7-Layer Bars, or magic Cookie bars,
make with sweteened condensed milk. Check at www.eaglebrand.com

I've seen the recipe called "Fake English toffee" but I don't have a
copy of it.

I never heard of what the OP was asking for, but I love English
Toffee.... so maybe I could handle making the fake stuff - hope it
tastes good.

Thank you! I believe this is exactly what I was looking for. I was
*hoping* to avoid the "hundreds of recipes" mentioned else-thread.

Appreciate the help, Jenn!

Not sure if this is the same as the English Toffee you are refering to, but
its easy to make, and delicious.

-----------------------------------------
Almond Roca

1 lb Butter - do not use margarine
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp corn syrup
2 cups toasted slivered almonds, divided
8 oz good quality chocolate, divided

Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar until disolved.
Add in water and corn syrup.

Cook over low heat stirring often but gently until candy thermometer reads
290F or 142C. Remove from heat.

Stir in 1 1/3 cup amount of almonds to mixture. Pour onto greased 10x15 inch
shallow pan about and let cool.

Melt 4 oz of chocolate and spread on candy. Then sprinkle with 1/2 of the
remaining almonds.

When chocolate has hardened, carefully turn it over, into another pan. Melt
remaining chocolate, spread over candy and sprinkle with remaining almonds.

Let the chocolate harden, and break into pieces.

I have made this with all kinds of chocolate, dark, milk, and white. I have
used different kinds of nuts as well. My favorite is marbling dark with
white, and using macadamia nuts instead of almonds. Heavenly!

DO NOT DOUBLE THIS RECIPE, the candy will come out sticky.
----------------------------------------

This is soo good. I put it in small gold foil lined boxes and give as gifts
at Christmas.

Glad to help.

JennP.

Toffee candy recipe:

Line a cookie sheet with foil, then line the bottom with Saltine
crackers.

Melt 2 sticks of butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Pour mixture over
crackers.

Bake at 400 degrees for a few minutes.

Pour a bag of chocolate chips over warm crackers and spread to coat.

While still warm, sprinkle with chopped nuts. Let cool, break into
chunks and enjoy.

Alexis do you still need this recipe? I can dig it out if you do. It
is indeed delicious, even though it sounds so ... odd ... which is why
I decided to try it in the first place. I usually make it every year
for Christmas, but since our Xmas has been sidelined, I won't be
making it or anything else this year.

Thanks, Tammy, I've got it now. I just needed a name!
