Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt flakes
- optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and then lay a piece of parchment paper on top. Ensure the liner covers the edges for easy cleanup.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, with no overlapping, until the whole sheet is covered.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly. Once the mixture begins to bubble, continue stirring and cooking for 3 minutes until it thickens and resembles caramel.
Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture over the saltine crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all the crackers completely.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. The caramel will become bubbly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel layer. Wait 1-2 minutes for the chocolate to soften, then use a spatula to spread it into a smooth, even layer.
While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the sea salt flakes and any optional toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut, over the top.
Let the toffee cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, break or cut the toffee into squares or shards. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
