Candy Recipe Using Soda Crackers

By Lynda (Guest Post)

We called them Butterfly Bars, since they always FLEW off the tray quickly, but I have misplaced the recipe. The best I remember is that "one MUST use
Parkay Margarine, and NO OTHER BRAND", which I ignored and regretted, and which coconut was added instead of chocolate. If I find the recipe before Christmas, I'll post it. They were so delightful that folks were nearly fighting over the last ones AND the last printed recipe in the stack I made for them. : )

I printed this recipe from yesterday`s newsletter. I do have a question .The recipe calls for "1/2 box of raisins" What size box?? Would it measure out 1/2 cup, 1 cup or....?
Years ago I believe this was referred to as "War Cake" here in Canada. Thanks


Editor's Note: It looks like a box of raisins is 9 ozs. I think that would be slightly over 1/2 cup of raisins. Susan

Hi Sandy,
For me the name Soda Crackers and Saltines have been interchangeable. They are the same thing.

Toffee Treats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Grease with butter. Cover with saltine crackers. Bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup butter to a boil & continue to boil for 2 1/2 minutes. Pour over crackers & spread fast. Bake 5-7 minutes. Spread a large bag of chocolate chips over, like icing.

I've made these or at least a similar recipe and they were very good.
