I had one bite and thought it was delicious so I asked for the recipe. When o found out how easy it was , I made it for gifts. Everyone I gave it to wanted the recipe. The girls at my school renamed it "crack" because they said it was addictive. I received a container of the toffee from a friend who had gotten the recipe from a friend.

I use roasted pecan or walnut pieces. And, we call it "Ghetto Rocca". People BEG for me to make it every year. It is the first thing eaten at the desert bar. We've begun calling it "Rocca Crack" :) Wow-I have never heard of it made with Toffee chips! I use roasted pecan or walnut pieces. And, we call it “Ghetto Rocca”.

I had several of my office mates say they had made the ghetto toffee, but that it hadn't turned out as good as what I had brought in! I asked the Dragon how she had made them, as she is notorious for taking liberties with recipes, and she said she had added chopped pecans and added a sprinkle of sea salt to finish. This seemed to confirm most of the inconsistency as the singular most asked question was what kind of saltines had we used. I cannot understate the impact of the added sea salt. Go get you some.

The ghetto toffee was the first to go whilst being the highest sought after recipe. This stuff is Whack! Go for the saltines, the salt compliments the sugar. One taker had to have a cigarette after he had a nap! Monkey! I brought these and six other Xmas treats to the office….
