These are really good! They are very similar to the traditional English Toffee candy that I have been making for years, but don't require a candy thermometer. I have made them twice in the last week, the first time using semi-sweet chocolate chips and walnuts, the second time with part milk chocolate (ran out of semisweet!) and pecans. I discovered I prefer the original recipe! Also, be sure to boil the brown sugar/butter mix for at least the full 3 minutes (I think you could safely go for another minute or even two), or the final product will be less crisp and not quite as good. All in all, a wonderfully rich and easy treat that would make a good gift! Oh, yeah...to make it even easier, the club crackers fit perfectly in a jellyroll pan!

My recipe is exactly this one except that I've always used white sugar. I can't stay away from these babies!!

I followed Serenity's advice and used graham crackers! Yum, mine broke into more of abstract "pieces" true toffee style, as opposed to keeping their original square shape. EVERYONE asked for the recipe at my son's birthday party and it's now a staple at the dessert table!
