POORMAN'S TOFFEE

Easy and Yummy...though a bit odd sounding when you read the recipe. I haven't made it in years, so the times are estimated. But I remember it being pretty quick to make besides the chilling. Chilling time is included in prep time.

GRANDMA'S POOR MAN'S PIE

This is an even simpler recipe that I grew up with (I've looked at the other recipes for Poor Man's Pie and Sugar Cream Pie - the other name for this type pie.) My grandmother's recipe was a 2-2/3-3 formula. It was called Poor Man's Pie because farmers always had the ingredients handy.

POOR MAN'S TOFFEE

This toffee/cookie/brittle type of treat is great to whip up in just minutes with almost nothing in the pantry! I guess that's why it's called Poor Man's Toffee! You can personalize it to suit your taste. Some people sprinkle chocolate chips on top as a chocolate covered toffee. (I detest touching chocolate chips so I never...

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 13 X 9 or close to that size, pan with foil. (I use the non-stick type and it can be reused over and over).
  • 2. Place graham crackers on the foil with entire bottom covered in crackers. If you have any space, just break some crackers and fill it in with the broken pieces.
  • 3. Combine butter, sugar in a saucepan; cook until it's melted about 2 minutes. Add nuts. Remove from stove and set aside.
  • 4. Pour buttery mixture over the crackers and spread to sides. Don't worry if it's thin in spots--when it heats it will spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes--my oven bakes fast so I watch it at 8 minutes! It shouldn't be very brown--just golden brown. Remove and cool. (I put mine outside on the deck or you can put it in the fridge to hurry it up) Break into pieces and watch it disappear fast!

24 graham cracker squares (the whole square) (about 2 packages)
3/4 c packed brown sugar
3/4 c melted butter or margarine
3/4 c chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
