Introducing-Tried and True Recipes

If you are anything like me, you have a Pinterest account with hundreds of recipes and you’ve tried maybe…….20 or 30. There is just not a lot of time to try new recipes that we aren’t sure are going to work out. Plus, it can get a little pricey to buy a bunch of ingredients and then have a recipe flop.

Sooooo, we are trying a new addition to the blog-Tried and True Recipes. 

We have had some yummy treats at our MOPS meetings and get togethers. If there is a goodie that you enjoyed, let us know! We will get the recipe and put it on the blog for all to enjoy. OR if you have a recipe that you love to make and that gets rave reviews, tell us and we will share it with the world. Or at least those that see this blog J

Please email the recipe or your request to dawn(dot)contreras at gmail(dot)com or you can just write it down and hand it to me (Dawn) at our next meeting.

This rich, buttery treat is one that I have made for years. I will bring it to our next meeting (Thursday, January 22 at 9:30) so you can try it out.

Saltine Toffee

2-3 sleeves of saltine crackers

1 Cup of butter

1 Cup of brown sugar

1 bag of chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)

¾-1 Cup of chopped pecans (toasted almonds are good too)

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

-Line a cookie sheet with foil, then line cookie sheet with saltines on top of the foil. You will probably have to break some crackers to cover the foil.

-Combine butter and brown sugar in saucepan. Bring to a soft boil and boil for 3 minutes.

-Pour butter/brown sugar over crackers and spread to cover completely.

-Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

-Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Spread melting chocolate to cover the sugar/butter/cracker goodness.

-Top with nuts

-Cool completely in the fridge. Once cool, cut or break into pieces and remove from cookie sheet.
