Poorman’s Toffee

In my house we call that "Crack", because a) it is made of crackers, and b) because it is so addictive!

LOL..This is what we refer to as crack in our household. Everyone is always asking for the recipe because it’s so addictive. I make it for my husband to bring to work every once in a while.

Trillian’s Crack

2 sticks of butter
1 cup of dark brown sugar
½ cup of corn syrup
1 teaspoon of baking soda
15 cups of chex cereal, corn and rice mixed

Place chex in a large paper shopping bag (double bag it) and set aside.

In a stainless steel saucepan melt butter, brown sugar and corn syrup together. When it starts to boil, set timer for 2 minutes. Stir constantly and do not stop. When 2 minutes are up, have baking soda ready. Take pan off heat, add baking soda and stir quickly. It will foam up so be careful. Pour all of mixture over chex and fold bag closed. Shake really well until everything is evenly coated. Pour onto light non-stick baking pans.

Heat oven to 250. Place pans in for 10 minutes. Stir it around with a wooden spoon. Bake for another 10 minutes and then take out. Use wooden spoon and stir around a few times in pan and then let cool.

We also make it with those big corn puffs. They’re both good but we prefer the chex.

Hubby wanted Matzo’s - so I bought Matzo’s - then he eats 2 in the package- that’s it.
So.....
Found a recipe online for “Matzo Crack” that’s pretty much the same as bgill’s - addictive indeed.

An additional hint from that recipe is to sprinkle sea salt/Kosher salt on the melted chocolate - really makes it pop - Yum!
