Peanut Butter Toffee With Saltines

I made this yummy treat for hostess gifts for Jack Henry's first shower. I saw it on a blog and HAD to try it! =) They were pretty easy to make and were very good. Jeff said that when Lydia tried it for the first time she said "This is the best treat ever!" Pretty good compliment if I say so myself! Hah!

1/4 lb (one sleeve) saltines (the salted ones)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chips
1/3 cup peanut butter
Chopped M&M’s

Chopping the M&M's were harder than I thought it would be!! The recipe also said that Reese's PB cups or nuts would be good on top!

Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper (the pan needs to have a lip to it or these things will leak all over your oven.) Place saltines in pan, salted side up. Leave just a bit of space between crackers so the toffee with encase the entire cracker when done.
Bring sugar and butter to a boil in a saucepan.
Put dollops of peanut butter on top and return to the oven for 1 minute.

Top with M&M pieces (or whatever you come up with). Place in freezer for at least 1 hour. Once these are set, crack them into individual pieces.

Bring sugar and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Boil for 3 minutes (time the boiling after the whole thing starts boiling, not just the edges). DO NOT stir ... this was TOUGH for me!


Pour boiling mixture over crackers. Place in oven for 5 minutes.


Put dollops of peanut butter on top and return to the oven for 1 minute.

Spread melted peanut butter over mixture with spatula and top with chocolate chips. Then, put back into the oven for 1 minute.

Use spatula to spread the chocolate chips (which have melted). 


Top with M&M pieces (or whatever you come up with). Place in freezer for at least 1 hour. Once these are set, crack them into individual pieces.
