Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces Saltine crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional toppings (chopped nuts, sea salt, or sprinkles)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly grease the lining with cooking spray for easier removal later.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they fit snugly without overlapping.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the light brown sugar and stir continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and has a smooth consistency.
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers. Use a spatula to spread it out if needed, ensuring all crackers are well-coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. The toffee will bubble during this time.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes to soften, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle your choice of toppings (chopped nuts, sea salt, or sprinkles) over the melted chocolate while it's still warm.
Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely for at least 1 hour.
Once the toffee is firm and the chocolate is set, break it into pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
