Good morning White Lights readers!
{you have to say it like Robin Williams in Good Morning! Vietnam}
Let’s get all serious for a minute. Bra shopping is hard. Whatever happened to a bra that just fits and doesn’t make you look all weird and pre-confirmed. I don’t need a push-up, 10-in-one, since when are they that shape?!? bra. I just want something cute, affordable, and leave the girls looking like themselves.
I feel better now. Thanks. Five days of bra shopping and not finding one you like takes its toll on a girl. Too make things better let’s have some chocolate and toffee! My mom made this toffee for Christmas and I’ve been day dreaming about it. You’ll get addicted. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Saltine Cracker Toffee
Ingredients
- 1½ sleeves saltine crackers (enough to cover your baking sheet)
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 12 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet (with sides) with foil. You want the foil to come up the sides a bit.
- Line the baking sheet with saltine crackers; breaking crackers if needed to fill in the edges.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil, and allow to boil for 3 minutes without stirring. Pour mixture evenly over crackers.
- Place crackers in oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately top with chocolate chips. Let chocolate chips sit for 2 minutes on hot crackers. Using a spatula, spread chocolate evenly over the top of the crackers.
- Allow toffee to cool completely (the fridge helps). Break into pieces. Best served cold – at least I think so.
Ok seriously? Drooling. Your pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Getting better, girl!
Yum! That looks great!
Also, I completely commiserate about the bra shopping – it's something I avoid as much as possible. Now that I'm prego I know I have to go soon b/c what I have just isn't cutting it anymore (yeah… I almost fell out of one yesterday), but I'm still putting it off as long as possible.
Sweet Jesus I hate bra shopping. And shopping for jeans. This toffee is a good cure-all!
My best friend made me some of this for Christmas this year- it was AMAZING! We gobbled it up in no time!
I too HATE bra shopping– it's the worst! My husband refuses to go with me anymore because I get so frustrated. But the Victoria Secret semi annual sale starts soon- so hopefully I can find a style I like and just stock back up!

P.S. Love the new design! The Black script is SOOO much easier to read then the pastel colors
OK, not only do these look easy to make, but they look like they would taste prety dang good, too! Feel fre to share them at Wicked Good Wednesdays at http://www.ilovemydisorganizedlife.com Pinning!
I remember this stuff from childhood and it is GOOD! I agree about bra shopping too. It's like a scientist took over the industry.
