Rich toffee flavor and easy to make, these Butter Brickle Cookies are better than Almond Roca Candy!
I never questioned the name of these Butter Brickle “Cookies” but as I wrote up the recipe, I started to rethink the title of these delicious morsels!
Since there isn’t any flour or eggs in this recipe, the base for cookies, should these be considered a cookie?
Maybe they should be renamed to Butter Brickle Candy or Bar. They taste like the buttery crunchy toffee that’s in the middle of Almond Roca Candies, except the candy layer is thinner. T
here is also a layer of crackers, giving each slice a sturdy and tasty base like a cookie. Once everything is set, you break them up in pieces like a bar. Hmmm, dilemma!
After you make these, tell me what you think and fill in the blank, Butter Brittle ______(bar, cookie, candy)!
These are always the first to go when I serve them on a platter with different cookies. They’re easy to make, darn tasty, and make a lovely gift!
Plan on making a couple of batches though because your family is sure to devour them, and they might get a little possessive over these goodies, and may not want to share (umm, tattle-tale on hubby)!!
My hubby is used to seeing me pack up treats to distribute to my co-workers, but when he saw me packing these up, he said, “Those are for US!” lol I think he really likes these! haha
Special thanks to my sis-in-law, Kathy for sending me a photo of her typewritten recipe via text!
Gosh, you just gotta love technology in situations like these! My copy vanished along with my Mexican Wedding Cookie recipe!
Recipe resurrected!! Hurray!!
I think I’ll just leave the title alone! Once you make these, everyone will be calling them YUM 🙂
WARNING: highly addictive (in a very delicious way)!

This does look like a delicious and highly addictive cookie/candy. I am always weak around salty sweet things.

Funny thing is my husband went to a get together for Christmas with his job, and everyone was supposed to bring a dish. He came home and described these little cookie treats to a tee. He said, “Babe, those cookies were so good at the party made with saltine crackers, brown sugar, butter, nuts and chocolate. I know you can make them because they go in the oven for 5 minutes.” Funny how I was just looking at a page, and this popped up. I am going to surprise him and make them since I love to bake, decorate and create. This should shock him. Funny thing, he didn’t bring me one so I could taste, investigate and re-create. We live in San Diego, California. Wonder if it’s the same person.

Oh, I love how you found this recipe to be one your husband will be thrilled with! What a great surprise this will be. Tasty one too 🙂 How I wish San Diego was home. We’re in Monterey, CA. Same Coast at least!! ~Thanks for commenting, Sandra
