Toffee Bars

1 box graham crackers
2 sticks butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla

Cover large cookie sheet with single layer of crackers.  Melt butter and sugar and bring to boil.  Add nuts.  Bring back to boil and boil 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Pour evenly over crackers.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  Cool slightly.  Cut in bars and remove from pan; cool on wax paper.  Store in airtight container with wax paper between layers.

 This is a recipe Katie and Amelia’s mom, Judy, brought to one of our first Christmas cookie bakes.  Simple and good!
