Triple Layer Cracker Toffee Bars prove that saltine crackers are good for so much more than a bowl of soup. And it makes the perfect edible gift. Toffee bars are a great introduction to candy making with an easy caramel layer. Using sweetened condensed milk for the caramel base makes it doable for any cooking level.
