Chocolate Toffee Recipes
For An Old Fashioned Delight
Chocolate Toffee Recipes are the foundation of rich and delicious treats. I personally love that buttery flavor combined with the chewy nut filled centers smothered in chocolate. What could be nicer?
Well, I guess the only thing nicer than wonderful chocolate toffee recipes would be to not have to make up a batch yourself. :)
You can get some delicious chocolate covered toffee online. I've ordered some from Alabanese that were pretty nice, and I've ordered some as gifts from Amazon.
But why not make your own? Try some of these chocolate toffee recipes and develop your own unique favorite chocolate covered toffee recipe, but don't be surprised if your toffee doesn't last long!

- 1 cup packed light brown sugar

- Line cookie sheet with foil. Layer the graham crackers over the cookie sheet to cover completely. Cook butter, margarine, and brown sugar in heavy saucepan until dissolved (it will start to foam while boiling).
- Spread evenly over graham crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and place pieces of chocolate bars over the hot toffee and allow to melt. Spread evenly over surface. Sprinkle crushed nuts over the top and gently pat to fix them in place.
- Refrigerate or freeze until firm. Break into pieces. If you would like proper squares, score the lines before refrigerating. A greased pizza cutter works great.
Chocolate Toffee Recipes are fun to make. It is even more fun to eat the results! Store your toffee in an airtight container, a tin is great.
My advice - hide your chocolate covered toffee from prying eyes and sticky fingers if you want to be sure to have some for yourself! :)
