Recipe + Video Recommendation

Sisters, did any of you try Sister Alves incredibly yummy Saltine Toffee Cookies at the annual New Castle Commons activity on Saturday? The question should be, how many of you didn’t? I, for one, lost count after a half dozen. Sister Alves has graciously offered the recipe for those sweet and salty snacks (see below). This is a delicious and very easy refreshment idea for your weekly activities, firesides and Family Home Evening.

Ingredients for 36 servings

• 1/4 pound saltine crackers
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 cups and 1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup and 1 teaspoon chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
2. Line cookie sheet with saltine crackers in single layer.
3. In a saucepan combine the sugar and the butter. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Immediately pour over saltines and spread t cover crackers completely.
4. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let sit for 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts. Cool completely and break into pieces.

I also recommend to you Elder Holland’s CES address from last night. I pray you will feel uplifted, refreshed and strengthened as you view it. Israel, Israel God is Calling
