Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 Saltine crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they cover the entire surface.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, using a spatula to spread it out as needed.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. The caramel should bubble but not burn.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Allow the chocolate to sit for a minute to melt, then spread it evenly across the top using a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle sea salt or chopped nuts over the melted chocolate while it is still warm for added texture and flavor.
Allow the toffee to cool completely. You can place the tray in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to speed up this process.
Once the toffee has hardened, break it into pieces of your desired size and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
