Crack. To most the word crack brings to mind a highly addictive drug. As the Wiki page states "Crack is a form of cocaine, an illegal drug. In most parts of the world, its production (making crack), possession (having crack), and distribution (selling or giving away crack) are illegal.
But in my house the term crack is being used to describe a delicious snack. Why, you ask? Well, these turtle toffee bars are highly addictive and when my Mom brought them to us last Christmas, Darrell and my Dad could not stop eating them. No matter how hard they tried. Hence the nickname "crack" was born.
Sophia and I made crack twice in two weeks because SOMEONE wouldn't stop talking about it. So, in order to shut that someone up (and because I love him), I made it. Twice. In two weeks. I think that deserves a nice gift in return, don't you? Anyway, below is the recipe but beware. You too will become addicted.
14 graham crackers (whole)
1 c. unsalted butter
1 c. dark brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
kosher salt, to taste
12 oz. dark chocolate
Preheat oven to 350. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange graham crackers in a single later on the baking sheet. Put the butter, brown sugar, pecans & pinch of salt in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the graham crackers and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove and set aside. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate over the toffee covered graham crackers and spread evenly. Chill completely for about 30 minutes and then break into pieces or cut into bars.
mmmmm. crack.
