Notes

Peanut Butter Saltine Toffee is best kept in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to eat.
This stuff is so sticky; use parchment paper or your Silpat to assemble it. (My Silpat mat is my go-to baking and treat-making kitchen item!! You need one of these so your recipes and cookies turn out amazing!) Just don’t use wax paper. You’ll have a sticky mess on your hands :)
Do NOT use a pan with no sides. The hot toffee will get everywhere in your oven!
Make sure the butter and sugar are truly boiling before you start timing for 3 minutes, and ONLY stir in one direction.
