Poor Mans Toffee Recipes

POOR MAN'S TOFFEE

Steps:

• Place graham crackers on cookie sheet.
• Mix butter, brown sugar, karo syrup and milk. Put in microwave for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, stir for about a minute. Caramel mixture should be quite thin. Pour over graham crackers right away, and then sprinkle on chocolate chips.
• Place under med. broiler for about 30-45 seconds, watch closely. Take out of oven and spread melted chocolate chips over the top. Great treats for the kids, mom and dad too!

POORMAN'S TOFFEE

Steps:

• Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, then line with crackers.
• Preheat oven to 350* F.
• In a sauce pan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat until it reaches hard ball texture - 250*F on a candy thermomator OR if you don't have one when a small amount is dripped into chilled water a ball is formed that is rigid but still pliable.
• Pour the mixture over crackers and put in the oven until bubblely (about 5 minutes).
• Take out and sprinkle chocolate chips over crackers and candy then return to oven until the chocolate chips melt a little (2 - 5 min).
• Remove from oven again and spread chocolate evenly around, sprinkle with walnuts if you wish.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 to 2 hours then peel off foil and break or cut into pieces.

POOR MAN'S TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line a 13 X 9 or close to that size, pan with foil. (I use the non-stick type and it can be reused over and over).
• Place graham crackers on the foil with entire bottom covered in crackers. If you have any space, just break some crackers and fill it in with the broken pieces.
• Combine butter, sugar in a saucepan; cook until it's melted about 2 minutes. Add nuts. Remove from stove and set aside.
• Pour buttery mixture over the crackers and spread to sides. Don't worry if it's thin in spots--when it heats it will spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes--my oven bakes fast so I watch it at 8 minutes! It shouldn't be very brown--just golden brown. Remove and cool. (I put mine outside on the deck or you can put it in the fridge to hurry it up) Break into pieces and watch it disappear fast!

POOR MAN'S FEAST

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: Dice the onion. Peel the potatoes and dice into cubes no larger than 1/2 inch.
• Heat the oil in a 12" non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once.
• Add the onion and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the sliced wieners and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the tomato sauce, salt, and sugar and stir. Let simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes or so, until the potatoes are cooked through (the amount of time will depend on how finely you diced them, and how soft you want the potatoes).
