CANDY CORN COOKIE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a 10x15-inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease.
• Place the saltine crackers on the cookie sheet to cover the entire pan in 1 layer of crackers. 
• Melt together the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Once the butter is melted, bring to a boil for 3 minutes while stirring constantly.
• Carefully pour the mixture over the crackers. Spread it overtop so that all of the crackers are covered.
• Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
• Add the chocolate to a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave on medium power for 1-minute bursts, stirring between each. When the chocolate is almost melted, stir until smooth. 
• Spoon the chocolate over the crackers, and spread it smooth to completely cover the pan. Decorate with sprinkles. 
• Let the toffee harden until the chocolate is set. Either at room temperature or in the fridge.
• Once completely hardened, remove from the pan peel the aluminum foil off. Break/"crack" it into pieces.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for 10 days. 

Steps:

• Mix syrup, sugar and water.
• Bring to hard/crack boil on candy thermometer.
• Stir in Candy oil and food coloring. (watch about the steam coming off of the mixture, it can really get you).
• Butter the heat resistant surface you will be working on. (She had a marble candy board, I use a cookie sheet).
• When cool enough to touch with hands (but not too cool or it will be too late), butter you hands and kitchen scissors and begin cutting pieces with scissors.
• Put pieces in a bowl of confection sugar (coats each piece from sticking to one another) and when you get alot in the bowl, skake it thru a stainer to get excess off.
• This is a very, very fast paced thing! We always cut it to make small pieces, and we bent in any sharp edges to make it easier for the kids. I have poured it into the cookie sheet and as it sets up, you scour it with a pizza cutter. When completely cooled you can break it apart. It all depends on whether I have help or not.
