Ingredients
- 40 salted saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans or festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and a layer of parchment paper.
- Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, fitting them tightly without overlapping.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
- Pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading gently with a spatula to cover.
- Bake for 5 minutes; the caramel will continue to bubble.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over hot caramel. Let sit 2–3 minutes then spread evenly with a spatula.
- Top with chopped pecans or festive sprinkles while the chocolate is warm, pressing gently.
- Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 1 hour to set completely.
- Once firm, peel off parchment and break toffee into pieces with hands or a knife.
