Ingredients

  • 50 Ritz crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips - I recommend Guittard brand
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F and line a rimmed 12" x 17" baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place Ritz crackers on prepared pan, in a single layer.
  3. Once oven is preheated, stir together butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Then stir gently and constantly for 2-3 minutes, until caramel mixture is thickened.
  4. Pour hot caramel mixture over Ritz crackers. Spread evenly with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the edges start to bubble and brown.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top, in an even layer. Let sit for about 5 minutes, until chocolate chips are glossy and super melty. Then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the melty chocolate evenly over the top.
  7. Let sit for 2 minutes to let the chocolate set a bit, and then sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top.
  8. Place pan in freezer for 1 hour, to set firmly. Then break the slab of cracker toffee into pieces (I aim for pieces about 2" in size)

Notes

  • Store toffee in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Or in the freezer, in a freezer-safe baggie or container, for up to 3 months. Separate any layers with parchment paper or wax paper, if desired.
