Chocolate Almond Saltine Toffee

I adore this recipe. I came across it in the December 2006 issue of Food and Wine, and I love it so much this particular issue has not left my magazine basket in 4 years. It just sits there, nestled in with the current issues of Bon Appetite, Food and Wine, and This Old House, […]
