I am 72 and I can tell you if you ever cook with a gas stove you’ll never want a electric stove again. You turn it on and it’s on you turn it off and it’s off. You control the heat. A must for a serious cook.
I’m 76 and I AGREE too!!! I have a gas stove and oven...THE BEST!!! 💕
And if the power goes out, you can still cook..😊 💜 😁 🙋
@@pamgranger9539 not always Pam. My sister's gas stove has electric starters.
Darn it I miss my gas stove but electric it is for now as we do not have any gas ,we are an all electric home! jess
@Pam Granger my gas stove has electric starters too. The gas is still emitted. Just takes a match.
If you save your butter wrappers, instead of throwing them away, you can use them to butter your baking dishes prior to using them. You can also freeze them until you need them.
Love to watch this I certainly will make some for Christmas ty so much and Have a Merry christmas.
They also make good liners for round cake pans.
Wow I didn’t know that, thank you for the tip Katz Kraydel.

You must subscribe to the The frugal gazette... That's where I first learned that...
I have made this candy for many years! I clipped it out of the newspaper in the 80's, it was a Girl Scout recipe called Soda Cracker Toffee. Everyone who has ever eaten it wants the recipe.
I total agree stove top should be gas. You can can can on gas because it gets hotter. Electric will kick off so 😢yes gas cook top. Electric oven is okay. I enjoyed your show. I needed a simple recipe for yeast rolls. So thank you. You save my part of Thanksgiving. 2022
Screen is cracked so it dbl up on words
@@gailcamp2252 how do you store it?
My niece invited me to go with her to a fish fry her best friend was having. I went, so I basically crashed the party. I took a double batch of this as my contribution. It was all eaten....the kids loved it. When I left I thanked her and apologized for crashing the party. The hostess said ''come anytime, as long as you bring some more of that delicious stuff.
Butter?
Or unsalted butter?
Brickle is definitely our favorite candy~ has always bothered me to make a joke out of drug terms, my kids think it's silly, but seriously, our language is so important!
My absolute favorite way to make it is with regular saltines, chopped, toasted pecans & white chocolate~ SO good! I've made it w/Ritz, Club crackers, & every manner of chocolate & nuts. They are all good, yet my favorite gets made most.
*Oh- also, I put salted side down, that way when you take a bite, you get the salty taste on your tongue, along w/the sweet of the rest~ delicious!
That's a good idea! then you get a salted caramel taste. yum!
Amen I love what you said about our language being important!! This is so true. You are sensitive to the Holy Spirit! 🙌🌈🌷💐
I love pecans and I would cover those crakers with them!!
Do you taste the crackers?
@@ericeisinger1402 I don’t notice the cracker taste . The saltines add a nice crunch.
Every year my friend's daughter would buy up all the plain chocolate Easter candy that was been sold half price. She would store them in the freezer. She also collected all her friends' Christmas cards which they were just going to recycle. Then about a month before Christmas she would make the brickle. She would make little boxes the size of a deck of cards and fill it with the candy and sell it for 50 cents. That is how she got her extra money for Christmas. At the time (this was about ten years ago) I worked in a big office and I would bring in bags and bags of these boxes and sell them for her. Even after she lost her sight and was unable to bake or cook anymore coworkers would ask if I would be selling the brickle again. A lovely memory now that I am in lockdown because of Covid and starting to do some candy making. Thanks for posting this and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I’m 71, and over the years, I have had the fun of using either type of stove! I do prefer a gas stove, which is what I have in my home currently. Thanks for the Brickle recipe!! My Mom used to make this when us kids were little! Good memories, and YUMMY! 💕
Gas top parts can go into the dishwasher! They come out pristine.
If someone would only
Invent a gas stove with an electric oven. Gas ovens are just to hot for the south. But, definitely has tops all the way!
Tammydavis3575, Gas counter top cook top & electric wall oven - if this would work in your kitchen
What a bright soul this person has! I am going to try this out over the holidays.
I love my gas stove. I can’t cook on electric stoves -I burn everything. Gas is a more consistent heat and when the power goes out you can still cook
Never heard of this yummy treat! Sounds wonderful. Thanks 4 sharing! I'm gonna make it! 🥰
I remember my mom making this when we were young. Yum! I have had both gas and electric appliances. I prefer the gas over electric because I feel I can regulate my stove top easier.
So happy to find a butter toffee recipe that doesn't require a thermometer. I can't wait to make this. Glad this video popped up in my feed!
You'll love it.
I have never had this. Looks scrumptious! Thank you for this recipe and all your hard work!
I just love watching you and your such a breath of fresh air and blessing to watch! Praying you are feeling better soon.
This is the first time I have seen your presentation and loved it. I have been wanting to know how to make Brickle for the longest time and thank you ever so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much for this video. A lady from one of my past jobs used to make this and I always wanted to know how. I'm sure my husband will love these! Hope you are doing well and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I’ve used both my preferences is definitely gas. When it’s turned on, no wait it’s ready to go.
I watched a lady make this recipe, the first time she made it. She did it perfectly, caramel all the way to edges. This lady is NOT worried about doing a good job.
Gas is best

I love cooking with gas. Tk me it seems that it is easier to regulate the temperature. Plus it doesn't continue to cook after it's turned off.
I’m sorry you have been under the weather doll! You look wonderful and don’t get stressed.The most important thing to those that love you is that you get well and they have the gift of sharing and making memories in these strange times!
Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Looks yummy! Be blessed and Merry Christmas with wishes for a great New Year!
Yum! this sounds so good. I have never made this before, but I am going to do it this Christmas. Thank you for sharing your recipe. ❤
I have always done them with graham crackers, the sprinkle sliced almonds and sesame seed.... so good
I love cooking on a gas cooktop. You can still cook when the power goes out!
I can’t use my gas stove when the power goes out. The newer models have an electric ignition and so even if you are using it when the power goes, my stove shuts down. So sad, many years ago I could at least heat part of the home using my gas stove/oven.
Shirley from Texas welcome back to Leslie we sure did miss you I’m glad you’re feeling much better and I really really waiting for your videos thank you
I've always used a gas stove and loved it. When I moved into my house 21 years ago it had a gas cook top and an electric wall oven. Surprisingly I like the way the electric oven cooks.
Thank you for sharing, yum yum yum! I'm sort of like you, you put a smile on my face and a warmth in my heart, because of all the things I've ever lost, I miss my mind the most! 😁
This is how I make my Almond Roca...top with Almonds....it’s a must every Christmas..hubby loves the white chocolate..
Yes to a gas stove top and oven electric. I have used this combo for years and love ❤️ it.
I'm so glad I found this video. I had forgotten about this recipe so now I will be making it this weekend! :) God Bless!
Today I watched so many of your Christmas videos. It was a wonderful day. I need to find them all and comment on them. I watch on my tv and comment on my phone. You are a joy. God bless you.
I’m gonna try these this weekend!! Looks super delish!! ❤️❤️
you are just too adorable. Makes my heart hopeful, if we have good folks like you out there...maybe there's more?!
Such a beautiful comment! ❤❤❤
Bless your heart ♥️ I’m going to make this brickle! It looks delicious ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this. I do not have a lot of time so this recipe is great and fabulous. Thank you!!
I prefer a gas stovetop, I have found gas cooks far more evenly and it is much easier to control the heat...
gas is good when elec goes out.. may need a match because the elec pilot on mine is dead without elec. i use elec skillet so go GAS.
I agree, and it is much easier to regulate the temperature. Like a gas oven better as well.
I used to love gas...until i got an induction stove...WHOA! I’ll never go back to anything else!
And it works fast, not have to worry about an electric eye to cool down..
My grandma used to grease her pans with the butter wrappers.
I haven't had this since my grandma made it, and she's been gone since 1973. Thanks for sharing, and bringing back so many memories!
My grannie taught me how to make divinity before she passed and she always made hay stacks for me too...
Oh. How sweet of a memory for you.
@@tambrasmith9707 yum. My mom always made divinity. Last many years, my brother, God bless him has been mailing my divinity and fudge from Michigan to Wisconsin for my Christmas present. Isn't that wonderful!🤗
I made this for the first time ever today. Well, I made it twice today because the first time I burned the sugar in the oven lol. The second time everything turned out perfect. My husband and I love this!
You sweet, dear Pastor's wife. May you be healthy and happy for Christmas '22. Love to you.
Thank you Linda
Yes! You can get the combo stove. Gas top and electric oven. I want one of these as well. Enjoying your video here.
I grew up with a gas stove and learned to cook on that. After our house burned my senior year my parents went all-electric and we had to learn how to cook with an electric stove. Mama never changed back, but when I married my husband and I had a gas stove and I was so glad. I never really liked an electric stove, and when we have had ice storms we could at least cook if our power was off. (It also helps heat the house some in that case.) I'm sorry you were sick. So glad you're so much better. I'm going to have to make this!
Never tried this..will give it a try..hope you continue to feel much better….thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS
I had a gas stove when I was living in Jersey and I absolutely loved it because if the electric goes out you can still cook on your stove all you need is a lighter to light it
I have had both. I prefer gas. So much easier to adjust the burners/flames quickly. Brickle is one of my absolute Christmas favorites!
Graham crackers are better
Never tried before. But I'm going to make this. Thank you.
Omg. I love this recipe. I think I have everything on hand. Thank you for sharing. Bless you and yours
This is such a good candy ,I use graham crackers sometimes and that's amazing ❣️
Sounds like Graham crackers would taste better!
❤
I was wondering if anyone ever used gramcrackers.
Thank yo for the recipe hope you get to feeling bette. God bless you and Merry Christmas
I’ve had both gas and electric and I tell you I take gas any time over electric, gas is wonderful, once you’ve had gas you don’t want to go back to electric.
There are advantages to gas. If you lose power you can still cook. And technically you are not supposed to can on a glass top electric stove. But the old eye burner you can. On the other hand I always worried the pilot light would go out and we would all die in our sleep or a gas explosion takes my house and neighborhood out in a massive explosion. 😏Just sayin.
@@floridagirl330 newer gas stoves don’t have pilot lights. The gas is off until the knob is turned.
IMO, gas is superior. I haven’t been able to make my famous fried potatoes half as good on a electric. Control just helps everything turn out better.
I don’t have the hook-up for gas stove at my house, it would be expensive for me to have done.
Thanks for saving me the typing.
100% agree. Gas stove/oven is so much better.
I have had gas and I wanted to go back to electric. It's cleaner.
I switched from electric to gas about 7 yr.s ago and LOVE It! And I LOVE the gas oven which I can choose regular bake or convection bake. When you're having lots of dishes, put on convection and the air circulates around and helps several dishes cook evenly and quicker.
My baby sister made some of this delicious brickle for me one year and she made it with the toffee, semi sweet chocolate chips, sea salt and pecans. It was absolutely addictive. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us.
I’ve never heard of this candy! It looks delicious!
I bet using peppermint flavoring and a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candies on top would really make it a christmas candy.. :-) sounds yummy!
I have the same pot. Love that they can take a beating. My family is not easy on pots and pans.
Got everything to make that. Think my family will love it.
Oh my lord, this is absolutely the easiest and most delicious candy I've ever made. I'll definitely be making a few additional batches to gift to my neighbours this year. Thank you so much for sharing Leslie! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You are so welcome!
Stove top is a must! When you have gas you will never go back to electric. Had both and love gas. You are right about being able to still cook when power goes out. Living in south Louisiana with hurricanes( 4 this year) it’s a must!
I make these all the time. They're so versatile. I use a 15x10 jelly roll pan and one sleeve of saltines fits in the pan perfectly. My family prefers salt side down so in every bite you really get the salty with the sweet. For the holidays I use white chocolate, dried cherries, and chopped pistachios. At other times I use a bag of milk chocolate chips and a bag of heath toffee bits with milk chocolate for crunch for people who like the crunch but don't like nuts. I also do a peanut butter version with semi-sweet chocolate chips. My family loves this stuff. Thank you for the video. Always love to see other recipe ideas.
Oh those sound good
This is one of my family’s favorite. I make it at Christmas. Thanks for sharing.
I actually saw your video and recipe I year ago. I didn't make it then but I did make it this year. Wow, what a hit! I did pecans on half of the pan and sprinkles on the other half. I knew my grandkids would go after the sprinkles. Thanks for an easy yummy recipe, Leslie. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.
So glad you liked it!!
I've heard it called Sweet and Salty. I'm making it this week for Christmas.
Thank you for this recipe. It’s to die for! I put crushed up Heath bars on top 🙄😋
Great recipe . Your such a lovely lady hope your feeling much better soon don't push yourself too hard it takes time to recover from pneumonia.
We watch your videos all the time, but I've never commented even though we love your recipes. However, I have to say that this one is definitely a favorite with my family! My husband was a little put out that I knew about this but had never made it until after watching your video. Thanks for sharing!
It is a favorite around here too....
OMGosh ... what a delicious and fairly straightforward looking recipe/treat. I'm doing this one for sure! I don't eat much chocolate (migraines) but my husband has a large sweet-tooth molar in his mouth and I know he'd love this treat for sure.
I used to make this every holiday season for my mom's quilt guild. I would break up a candy cane and sprinkle it across the top after spreading the chocolate chips and before it cooled. Can use Andes mints too. Mint is always a good change for Christmas. Dad had me use orange chocolate once for a change of pace and it was decadent. Yum
That looks great definitely I will have to make it this Holliday... Thank you for sharing...
Discovered your channel around 2020, this brickle for a huge success for Christmas. In 2024, I made again, and it is still a quick and easy...deliciouos recipe. Thank you
Just made this..OMG it's wonderful. I put chopped pecans and sprinkled sea salt on top. This recipe is a keeper thank you!
I make a baked bean casorel, and take to our church potluck events.. I've watched people get red solo cups and fill them up ,to take home!
Very easy!
I'll list the smaller batch, and you can double it as much as you need.
2lbs of cooked ground chuck(drain the greese)
1 small Chopped onion
2tbs.munced garlic
Combine all ingredients in a large crock pot
I use my largest crock
pot.
2 or 3 tall cans of Bush's baked beans any flavor
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Sweet Baby Ray's bar b queen sauce, any flavor
1 bag of real bacon bits.
Stir well
Add 1 package of little Smokies.
Stir well.
If someone tries to sneak a bite of little smokies, smack their hands!!!!
Simmer on low for as long as you think it needs.
Enjoy!!!
Thanks for this - sounds delicious 😋
What a blessing that I found your channel! You’re just lovely and I find you comforting!
Gas cooking is the best! I have had both!! I really like gas, stove top and oven. ❤️ I just made this and already people are grabbing it!!
Many years ago, before I knew I had Celiac, I made something very similar to this. When I ran my own business, I used to make goodies for all the people I worked for, and everyone said this was their favorite out of all.
First, I laid the crackers down, like you did. Then melted the butter and sugar, but did not boil and thicken, then added vanilla when off the stove, and poured the thin mixture over the crackers. Because it was very thin, it spread out on its own and saved one step. The boiling part was done in the oven 325(?), for about 30-40 minutes. When I took it out, like you, I sprinkled the choc chips and spread them out when melted. I might have to make some gluten free crackers and try this again. It looks sooo good!
Thanks for sharing!
I have celiac! I make this with Yehuda gluten free matza crackers!
I also use coconut sugar to cut down on the glycemic load a little bit.
I have celiac as well.. found out when I was 36 years old… I make a lot of stuff like this with m6 own gluten free recipes for the crackers or breads or pie crusts etc… most of the time people can’t tell the difference….
What is celiac?
Your recipe sounds good.
It is amazing made with gluten free pretzel thins or sticks.
I switched from electric to gas and LOVE it! It did have a short learning curve because it heats up so fast, but you learn quickly. And I LOVE my gas oven! I got the gas oven with the convection feature and use it ALL the time. So much quicker and things cook so evenly even with multiple pans due to the fan circulating the heat. You won't regret the change. The only negative is the heating up the kitchen in the summer. But, we just got a microwave with a browning & convection feature so I'm hoping that takes care of that in the summer.
Hope you are feeling better...I think I will love the brickle candy...I am going to make so...GOD BLESS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS
Yes, I hope she is better too! This was a video from 2019! This is the yummiest cookie ever! I do mine a little differently (posted a minute ago). It uses the oven to brown and bubble instead of on the stovetop, but the results are similar.
Watched last year and came across it again this evening. Sharing again. God bless you and yours❤🙏🙏❤
Gonna make this! I'm making goodies this year since I have so much time staying home because of
Covid 19.
Hope you feel better.
That’s okay about the sniffles! You shared the Brickell
Hey, Bryant! I like how you show up when the goodies are done.😁
U are one wonderful cook I am going to try some of what u cook God bless u all
An induction cooktop is a marvel to cook with since it is so responsive. I have had one for forty years and enjoy it immensely. As a little parlour trick I put an ice cube in a pan, turn the burner on high and PRESTO the cube goes to boiling in about a minute. Then take the pan off the burner and you can put the palm of your hand on the burner. The pan is hot, not the burner. Induction is well worth it.
Oh my goodness. Absolutely get gas. I love it. When you adjust the temp on a gas stove it is immediate, where as electric takes time to cool down or heat up.
Is there a written recipe
@@lindahalifax7201 go on Pinterest and type in Christmas crack and you'll find this exact recipe and many variables.
My only complaint about a gas cooktop is that it is more difficult to keep clean.
If you ever get a gas stove
a heads up if you're use to wearing a towel cloth on you, the towel can catch fire , if you're not consciousness of it and lean to the stove . Long hair can too and that's happened .
@@joycecoogan2012
Ohhhhh yes maam...be very cautious!!!
Im gonna make this for the 1st time with my 7 yrs old Grand daughter tomorrow! thank you and I am gonna be your new Subscriber!
Thank you for your video! I use graham crackers, the brown sugar mix and pecans. They are sooo good!
I’ve had electric stoves all my life, and just did a total home remodel. I have a gas stove (and gas oven) now. I love my gas stove!
Go gas for stove top. Started out as newly wed (49 years ago) with gas then went to electric. I burned everything! You can control gas so much better, doesn’t get too hot and stays hot too long. Go gas!
Loved this !!! You are the best one who has made this look so pretty !!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much 😀
I made this for my family and now I am making more for them because they demolished it. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I like you and your husband. Seems like a great Man of God!!🙏🏻💗😋
So glad they liked it!!
I love this recipe of yours, it is so delicious. I’ve made it so much at holidays with all the chocolates, even with peanut butter chips. Ummmmm! Thank you and God bless you!
I love this stuff. Thanks for the reminder I’ll make some this year.
I never knew what this was! My in-laws make it every thanksgiving & it’s yummy
Ok, I maker a few pans of brickle a season, I put toffee chips, Carmel balls, mini m&m’s, and fun stuff on it with the nuts.
those ideas sound wonderful! thank you!
Yum...toffee chips would make it taste like a Heath bar!
@@sassypants5716 It already tastes like a heath bar, if you use graham crackers it turns out thicker like heath-saltines make it thinner like a skore bar..both are delicious😌 I have a different cracker in mind to experiment with next time, I couldn't find them at my local Wal-Mart, too close to Christmas I guess, but I will absolutely let everyone know how they turn out (if they're good). I personally think that this will top the charts for cracker toffee!!
The Farming Pastor's Wife: "My kitchen is extremely small"
Me: "Girl, come over here and see a really small kitchen"
Hi , I just stumbled across the Brickle video and made it with Tennis biscuits , I added raisins and sprinkled a pinch of salt on before putting in the oven.
Regarding your stove , when I revamped my kitchen I got a gas hob and had the electric oven installed as an eye level oven. I had that done 3 years ago and never regretted it. Remember to get a certified gas installer to install a gate valve on the gas line.
Two people can barely fit in my kitchen.
You are going to have to move some walls out and make the lounge or dining room smaller. Cant get stiffled in a small kitchen.
Please confirm that a brick of butter is 100g
Yeah, my kitchen is tiny too! I mean two people would be considered crowded, lol!
You are very relaxing to listen n learn-feel better!
Ummmmm yummy .... Thank You soooo much for this excellent and super easy recipe ..... Thank You & Hava Wonderful Day !!!!
Same to you Kim
I was really wanting this but had no choc chips so I added some cocoa powder and a little extra sugar and it turned out really good.
I love it when a cook ‘uses what they have’!!!!!!
👌🏽🤗. I’ll try that cocoa powder too. Thanks and Happy Holidays.
You can also do this with Matzah crackers and it is fabulous!! We make this for Hanukkah!
Exactly and you can add dried cranberries, craisens, crushed candy canes, crushed butterfingers, sprinkles, or just about anything to the top of the melted chips!
Great recipe!!!! Thanks so much for sharing, dear. Have a Wonderful CHRISTmas.
Love the idea of setting on porch to cool. My grandma did the same with her pies 🥧 and cookies 🍪
My Grandmother Loughridge made this she called it cracker candy
Just the right name for it... 😀. Happy Holiday.
That’s what I call it!
Cracker candy is what We allways called it too My Mom used to make it Shr is gone now I miss Her She was a wonderful Mom
This makes such a great holiday "giveaway" treat...It always makes people smile once they take their first bite...My family loves the combination of semi sweet & butterscotch chips melted over the top...Bless you & your family...
Yes that is good also.....
G'day from Smithfield South Australia. I love watching you and seeing your life and family. God bless you and please stay safe sweetheart . Please get better soon. ❤🙏🌹
Lol. Better late than never. Just came across your cooking video. Thank you for this recipe.
God bless
We used to live in a parsonage that had gas stove top , I had always used electric stoves but I loved that stove when you get ready to cook ,you see the flame ,easy to regulate, I still miss it
Gas is instant on off . Electric is slow on off. It all depends what you're used to. I've used electric at work, gas at home... Gas is my preference 50 years of home history.
Kkk
@@marilynndapp5809 - Induction is not slow in and off and convection ovens are great too. I inly have an older ceramic top (non-induction) and even that is a lot quicker and easier to use than the old electric ones. 😊
