Diann's Almond Toffee

(Lighter than the traditional toffee, and just as tasty!)

40 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 12 oz. package chocolate chips
1 pkg. sliced almonds (toast first for best taste!)

Line a cookie sheet (with an edge) with the crackers. Set aside.
In a saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar. Stir & melt; then bring to a boil (stirring constantly) for 3 minutes. Pour over crackers & spread with knife to cover crackers.
Heat in a 350* oven for 5 minutes or until crackers "wiggle" when pan is shaken. Remove from oven and top with chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute and then spread with a knife. Top with sliced almonds.
Put pan into freezer to set. Break up candy into desired sizes. You may want to keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
