Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or nuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles or sea salt (optional toppings)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Make sure the liner covers the edges of the sheet.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture begins to bubble. Let it boil gently for 3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure it doesn't burn.
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the crackers, using a spatula to spread it if needed.
Bake the crackers and toffee in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. The toffee will bubble up while baking, but monitor it closely to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee layer. Allow the chocolate to sit for 2-3 minutes to soften from the heat.
Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt over the melted chocolate as desired.
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the chocolate sets fully.
Once set, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week.
