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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there are no gaps.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all the crackers.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. The toffee mixture should bubble during this time.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top of the melted chocolate for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.
