Looking for a recipe for a dessert that was called "English Toffee". It was served in our school cafeteria in Waukegan, IL. and we also made it in our home economics class. It was very rich, had graham cracker crust and a chocolate filling of some sort, but I cant remember what other ingredients and have lost the recipe for it. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Hey Tammy from Missouri, I don't have the recipe right now but my sister has it . We went to Martinsville High School in Martinsville Indiana. She is supposed to send it to me as soon as I get it I will send it to you. I remember it well. We used to be so excited to buy our lunch on the day they served it! Carol from Florida.

Thank-you Diana, that is pretty close I think.
But just wondering, no sugar in it?
And does it go by a different name?

I think I have the recipe you need.

2 cups graham crackers, crushed
1 stick butter

Mix and place 2/3 in 9x13 pan

For the filling:
2 squares Baker's chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
2 sticks butter

Beat with mixer and then add
2 eggs, 1/2 tsp vanilla & 1/2 cup dry milk.

Beat for about 5 minutes. Pour into pan and top with remaining graham crackers.

HMM, you use a mixture of Imperial measurements and Metric. what is 1/2 lb? is that pound? Could you let us know what that is in Metric? thanks. Beats me why the U.S.A doesn't convert to metric like the rest of the world.

Editor's Note: Yes, that is a half a pound. It would be 226 grams. We've been working on online conversion tables but so far haven't finished them. As for why? Who knows?

These recipes all sound very good but what I am looking for was a dessert, almost had a mousse-like consistency. Sort of truffle tasting if that makes sense, was cut into slices and served cold.

Is the recipe from a Pillsbury Cook Off? If so I think this is it. Only thing.. this one uses nuts on top. If not I'll keep looking for you as I have numerous cookbooks to page through :)

ENGLISH TOFFEE BARS

Ingredients :
15 graham crackers (2 1/2" x 2 1/2")
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 c. butter (do not substitute)
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips (I use
Nestle's milk chocolate)
1/4 c. chopped nuts (do not omit)

Preparation :
In a foil-lined 13"x9" cake pan (grease the foil with butter),
arrange the graham crackers. Entire bottom of pan must be covered
with graham crackers, you might have to break to make an even fit.
In medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter and bring to
a boil. Remove from heat, pour over graham crackers. Bake in 400
degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove and immediately sprinkle with
chocolate chips and as soon as the chips are soft, spread over the
top of the cracker crust. Sprinkle with nuts. Chill at least 30
minutes or until chocolate is set. Break into pieces of all shapes
and sizes (like English toffee candy). Store in refrigerator.
These freeze nicely. Yield: at least 24 bits and pieces.

No, the one from the link sounds good but that isnt it. This one had Baker`s chocolate in it I am almost sure, it had a very creamy consistency, I do remember you put in the fridge to set it up. I also dont remember nuts being in it, so really not sure why they called it English Toffee. For the "crunch" I think there was just the crumbled up graym cracker crust mix on the top.

English Cream Toffee Recipe

I've had this for a while, cant remember where I got it other than a candy site. Just made it again and it is fantastic! I also add in chocolate chips when it is poured out on the sheet and setting up well. Just be careful about how long you cook it. Make sure that you stir it continuously, but not too fast either! Good Luck.

2 c. brown sugar
1/2 lb. butter
3/4 c. golden syrup
1 300 ml tin Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk

Bring to boil in heavy pot (MEDIUM Heat).  Boil hard, stirring constantly until toffee threads in cold water (about 20 minutes).  Pour onto buttered baking sheet.  Cool.  turn sheet upside down and break into pieces.  Nuts may be added to pan before toffee is poured.
