We are in for a wonderful Christmas season treat! My dear friend, Michelle Cox, has graciously agreed to share some special recipes over the next few weeks. Michelle is a delightful author and a magnificent chef. She and her husband, Paul, live near Asheville, North Carolina.

Chocolate Toffee Pieces
Can you believe Christmas is only a few days away? Here’s one more quick and easy tasty treat that you can give as a gift or serve to your holiday guests. My cousin, Dee Anne Sauter, shared this recipe with me many years ago. It’s become one of my favorite recipes and I make these every Christmas. I don’t think I’ve ever served them without getting requests for the recipe.
Saltine crackers (about 24)
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine (I use butter)
12 oz. milk chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli)
¾ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a 10×15 pan with foil; spray well with cooking spray. Place a layer of crackers in the pan; set aside. Boil the brown sugar and butter in a saucepan for three minutes. (Stir constantly once it begins to boil.) Pour over the crackers; spread evenly.
Bake for five minutes and then remove from the oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let sit for one minute and then spread melted chips with a spatula. Sprinkle with nuts; press down lightly. Cut on diagonal immediately or cool and break into pieces.
