Every Wednesday night I cook dinner for the whole extended family and a few weeks ago I made this for them. Everyone age 3-53 loved it! It makes quite a bit, so be prepared for leftovers. I did peel and devein the shrimp before adding. I used large shrimp, but I think I will try jumbo shrimp next time.

This is great tasting and has a great presentation on a buffet table. I too am from Tulsa, but first tasted this at a holiday party in D.C. a couple of weeks ago. I asked the hostess for the recipe, but relied on my faulty memory and couldn't remember exactly how to make it when I got home. I was looking around for the recipe and was very glad to find it here - this is going to go on a New Year's buffet table at my house! Easy and Yummy!

We call this "Magic Toffee Brittle". The recipe has been around forever, but it seems like a lot of people have never heard of it. I get requests for this every Christmas and always get asked for the recipe at parties. It is SOOO easy it is almost embarrassing to tell people how to make it after watching them trying to figure out what is in it. I make 2 changes - use club crackers (about 40 covers the bottom of a large rimmed cookie sheet) instead of saltines for more richness and use chopped pecans on the top. Be sure and cook long enough in the oven or they will be chewy instead of crisp.
