I love this recipe! I've been making it for years with saltines as well. I don't know if it's a computer glitch, but the proportions are off a bit. The amount of butter, brown sugar, chocolate and nuts are enough for ONE pan - not two. I used 6 crackers on one pan and had another pan ready just in case. The thick caramel was just the right amount for the one pan - it would not have stretch ed to cover both. Ditto on the chocolate and nuts. So if you want to make two pans, you need 12 crackers, 2 cups of butter, 2 cups of brown sugar, 4 cups chocolate chips and 2 cups chopped nuts! Hope this helps!

I have been making this recipe for years. Found it in the Los Angeles Times. I always have to make a triple batch to have extra on hand for everyone to take home from Passover. It is fun to add other toppings besides chopped nuts. Try white or dark chocolate instead of semi sweet chocolate Excellent!!!!

I made this for Passover and WOW, was it ever a hit. I made 1/2 w/o nuts for those that don't like or are allergic to them. Both 1/2's went very fast, but he nuts were the best. I used Pecans, I like the taste better. I also used mini choc. chips and didn't have to put the trays back in the oven. They melted very quickly. I kept the 2nd tray in the oven while I worked the chips onto the first tray.

This a wonderful chocolate brittle to end a seder meal. I make it every year and it is one of the most popular desserts that I put out. It wouldn't be Passover without them. What a treat!

I've made this every year for the past 20 years;it is my most requested recipe from friends and family. Instead of walnuts, I use 1C chopped pecans and 1C slivered almonds. Melt margarine (to be pareve) or butter (dairy) w/1C brown sugar, pecans & almonds, bring to a boil, then let simmer for 2 minutes. Pour over large matzah boards placed on a greased rimmed cookie sheet (break to fit - leave no holes). Bake @ 350 for 7 - 10 minutes (middle rack). Remove from oven & sprinkle w/semi-sweet chocolate chips; spread chocolate. Allow several hours for chocolate to harden. Delicious!

Yummy! I made this for our seder and everyone loved it. I even gave some to my husband's employee and wife who apparently ate the whole bag very quickly. It did stick some using the foil but not a huge deal. Easy cleanup. I sprinkled mine with pecan chips and they were definitely a hit.

This flew off the plates at my boyfriend's family Passover Seder. We didn't have nuts on ours and it wasn't exactly crunchy, but we couldn't keep our hands off before OR after dinner! Keep them in the fridge (freezer even better) to prevent them from getting soggy and melted.

Sooooo good! I halved the recipe but next time I might as well double it. I lined the tray with parchment paper instead of foil and there was absolutely no sticking at all. I also added a pinch of salt, which gave a nice oomph to the toffee.

Good recipe, but only use the TOP RACK of the oven to prepare, as it will burn on the bottom rack!

I am familiar with this recipe and have made it every Passover for the last several years. It is delicious by itself or served with vanilla ice cream.
