Saltine Toffee

When I used to work at the Eye Clinic in Provo, we had a patient by the name of Derelys (pronounced like darrel with an ees at the end)
She just loved the doctors (and staff) and would always bring us this treat whenever she had an appointment. I know these as Derelys' toffee snack.
(Warning... they are very simple to make, but follow directions... Miranda burned them twice the first time she made it)

Saltine Toffee

Saltine Crackers - at least a sleeve or more
2 cubes butter
1 c. sugar
pkg. semi sweet chocolate chips
chopped nuts -( I like pecans)

Preheat oven to 350*
Line cookie sheet with foil & cover entire bottom with saltine crackers
(I like to use Zesta brand)

In saucepan mix butter & sugar
Bring to boil while stirring continuously
Continue cooking 2 1/2 minutes
Pour mixture over saltines
Bake 10 minutes
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips
Place back in oven until chocolate chips warm and soften (about 3 minutes)
Take out of oven and spread chocolate chips evenly over toffee and sprinkle with chopped nuts
Let cool before cutting or breaking apart.
