Mock Chocolate Macadamia Toffee
adapted from a recipe found on steamykitchen.com
½ box of graham crackers
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
2 sticks butter
1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 ounces roughly chopped macadamia nuts
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a lipped baking sheet with a layer of tin foil (I used an 11X17 baking sheet). Arrange a single layer of graham crackers in the pan without overlapping. In a small saucepan, melt butter and add the sugars. Whisk to dissolve. Let boil and simmer for 5 minutes on low. Very carefully pour mixture onto the graham crackers, working quickly with a spatula to even out the layer. Bake 10 minutes. Remove and evenly spread out the chocolate chips and leave it to melt for 5 minutes. Using spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly. Top with chopped nuts. Let cool. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Break into pieces.
How it went: I totally forgot to take any pictures! So the photo above is from the website where I got the recipe. This was super easy; probably the most time-consuming part was chopping the macadamia nuts.
My take: Definitely a recipe worth repeating. So easy, and really good. It really has that yummy toffee taste, plus all the chocolate on top doesn't hurt, either.
Hey Katie...this made me think of you: (Nutella Buttercream Frosting, oh how I wish I could have one of these!!)
