a toffee tradition

Quick, easy, and undeniably addictive and drool-inducing—what could be better?

Yep. This is good stuff. Perhaps you’ve tried or at least seen the variety using matzo. I’m here to tell you that if it’s at all possible, this version is even better. I think the salt on the crisp crackers combined with the rich, semi-sweet chocolate and crunchy, buttery toffee makes for the perfect candy, any minute of any day of any month of any year. It’s probably best to save it for the holidays, however, unless you want to add some more junk to your trunk…

Rather than one large Christmas dinner, my family has two buffet-type meals. At the end of both buffets lies a table containing several varieties of grab-and-go goodies. This toffee is always present, and it’s always among the first to disappear. The fact of the matter is that when I’m in charge of making it, far less than a complete batch actually makes it to the serving table! Try it if you dare; I think you’ll be pleased!
