Equipment

  • large baking sheet 21 x 15
  • spatula
  • aluminum foil
  • kitchen timer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups walnuts chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 Package Schar Gluten Free Table crackers 7,4 once package
  • 1 cup Vegan Butter I used Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 package Vegan Semi Sweet Chocolate "Chips", 10 oz. I used Enjoy Life

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350°
  • Chop the walnuts into small piece, place on a baking sheet, and put them in the oven for 10 minutes to toast. Set aside.
  • Prepare the baling sheet by wrapping it in aluminum foil.
  • Pour the olive oil on the foil covered baking sheet and use a paper towel to evenly oat the surface of the foil with a very light coating of oil.
  • Lay the Table Crackers out, side by side on the foil, salt side down. Cover the sheet.
  • Piece together any broken crackers.
  • In a medium size sauce pan, melt the vegan butter and brown sugar together over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Stir continuously.
  • Once the mixture begins to boil, set the timer for 5 minutes. Turn the heat down and stir continuously for 5 minutes. you don't need a candy thermometer., just go by the time.
  • Once the mixture is done. Pour it over the cracker mixture and spread it out to cover the crackers and with the back of a spoon, spread the toffee mixture evenly over the crackers.
  • Place the pan back in the over for 5 minutes. The toffee mixture will soften and seep into the crackers.
  • Pull the pan out of the oven, and sprinkle the Vegan chocolate chips over the top of the toffee coating. Let stand for 5 minutes, then using the back of a spoon, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface. If you are using the chunkier Enjoy life pieces, that are larger than standard chocolate chips, you may want to set the entire pan back in the warm oven for one minute to make sure the chocolate has melted,
  • Immediately sprinkle the toasted walnuts on to the melted chocolate. Using a paper towel to protect your hand, press the nuts in to the chocolate.
  • Let cool for two hours. The candy will be set.
  • When the candy has set, gently peel the aluminum foil from the back of the candy.
  • Break the candy into pieces. Take a look at the back of the candy and try to break the candy along the lines between the crackers. Do not be alarmed if the candy does not break cleanly along the lines. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.
  • Enjoy!
