This is the quickest, simplest recipe for a gourmet tasting and funky candy I like to think of as toffee bars. I got this from the Jan, 2003 issue of Gourmet Magazine and I love to have a batch of these on hand in the freezer for family snacking or to serve to guests I want to impress. It also makes a great hostess or kiddush gift.

- 1 1/2 sticks butter or margarine, cut into pieces

Can these be frozen for a few weeks? Do you crack them into pieces using your hand? Also, can these be made vanilla flavored?

They can be frozen for several weeks in a ziplock bag. I break them by hand, sometimes in neat pieces along the cracker lines, but more often into irregular shapes. I’m not sure what you mean by vanilla flavored.

Can I use white chips so that the coating is white?

Yes if you like the taste.
