---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: "Cracker" Toffee Triangles
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

Graham crackers; (or saltine crackers) to cover a 15" x 10"
jelly roll pan in a single layer (cut to fit at
one end and along one side)
1 c Brown sugar; (light or dark)
1/2 c Butter or margarine
2 c Chocolate chips
1 c Chopped walnuts or pecans

Heat oven to 350 F. Lightly but thoroughly grease bottom and sides of
jelly roll pan (some versions of the recipe specify lining the pan with foil
and also greasing
the foil). Line pan with crackers to cover completely in a single layer.
Stir butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat until
butter has melted, sugar is dissolved, and mixture is blended and thickened
slightly (no longer than 3 minutes!).

Pour hot mixture over crackers, spreading to cover them completely. Bake 8
minutes (no longer!). Remove from oven. Wait a few seconds for topping to
stop bubbling, and then sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over surface. When
the chips have melted, spread the chocolate evenly over the crackers (now
one giant piece!). Sprinkle chopped nuts over all.

When chocolate has set, cut cookies: Make three lengthwise cuts and five
crosswise cuts to make twenty-four 2 1/2 inch squares. Cut squares on the
diagonal to make 48 triangular cookies.

Per cookie (with graham base) 100 cal, 1 g pro, 11 g car, 6 g fat, 5 mg chol
with butter, 45 mg sodium.

Note: These are delicious. And no one ever guesses how easy they are.

1/4 tsp Sea Salt 
1/2 cup Butter 
1 cup Brown Sugar, packed 
1 Egg

Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter, egg and vanilla extract. Sift together the flours, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix until smooth.

Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into balls by rolling between the palms of your hands to the size of a walnut. Place dough rounds 2" apart on cookie sheet. Flatten lightly with the tines of a fork that have been dipped into flour. Press the tines into the dough making a crisscross design.

Place oven rack in middle position of oven with cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until set, but not hard. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes and remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. After cookies have cooled they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
