Saltines Toffee Bars

 

Whenever we had an office party, this was one of my

co-workers signature desserts that she would faithfully bring in.  

 

When she gave me the recipe, I couldn't believe the simplicity...only a few ingredients...and saltines?  Really?  

This recipe is a winner.  These also make the perfect gift around the holidays.  You can swap out the nuts for crushed candy canes...add a sprinkle of coconut.
