Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces Saltine crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray or grease the foil lightly to prevent sticking.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there are no gaps.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all the crackers.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. The toffee mixture should bubble during this time.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer.
Let the chocolate chips sit for 2 minutes to soften, then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top of the melted chocolate for added texture and flavor.
Let the toffee crackers cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer the tray to the refrigerator to set for at least 1 hour.
Once the toffee and chocolate are firm, break the crackers into bite-sized pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
