Now everyone will know how easy my toffee bark is to make... yeah, easy, but good... it's gotten me many declarations of love and even a marriage proposal or two... So here it is:
Toffee Bark:
Line a buttered cookie sheet with graham crackers.
Combine and boil for 3 minutes:
1 Cup Margarine (or butter)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans
Pour over graham crackers and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
Pour 12 oz. chocolate chips over it when come out of oven.
Spread when melted. Refrigerate and break into pieces when hard.
Store in air-tight container.
You can leave the pecans out, which I do most of the time because I usually make these for Robotics and I don't want to have to worry about nut allergies, though why anyone allergic to nuts would be on a robotics team is beyond me... after all, we're all nuts there. If you leave out the pecans, you have to lessen the boiling time by at least 30 seconds.
Heidi (who will be making toffee bark in about an hour)
P.S. The chips should be semi-sweet or milk chocolate (I tried dark chocolate once, and it was odd) and if you use margarin, use a kind with dairy. I tried making a Vegan variety of this once for Eric's sisters using vegan margarin and the dark chocolate chips, and it was nasty, very very nasty.
