Cracker Toffee

I needed a quick treat night before last and I didn’t have any eggs to make any form of pastry so I opted to make cracker toffee.  I haven’t made it for at least 20 years……………gotta figure that one out.  It is actually a really fast, last minute treat….well,  not even last minute …..anytime!  My instructions were very vague and didn’t even have the ingredients listed first, and of course, I didn’t really read the instruction before-hand so as I was making my toffee, I was forced into a bit of scrambling.  So, just for you, I typed my recipe in a way that you could avoid the rush.  My biggest thing was not chopping my walnuts ahead of time and at the last minute, I was chopping like a mad woman, not even chopping my walnuts to the desired size…….this resulted in losing quite a few from my toffee as I was breaking it into pieces.  For the sake of pictures, I even placed nuts on the toffee pieces….we’re talking huge chunks here.  Take my word for it……..chop the walnuts ahead of time into nice little pieces.
