Ingredients
- 26 saltine crackers about 3/4 sleeve
- 1 cup butter salted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- Cake sprinkles or nonpareils, festive
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with tin foil and grease with nonstick baking spray.
- Lay the saltine crackers side-by-side on the jelly roll pan. You may have to break some in half on the last row so they all fit.
- In a medium saucepan, add in the butter and brown sugar. Place over medium heat and stir as the butter melts. Continue to stir until the butter is incorporated and let the mixture come up to a boil. Once boiling, DO NOT STIR. Boil for 1 minute.
- Remove the toffee from the heat and pour it evenly over the crackers. If the crackers move, move them back into place with a rubber spatula.
- Use the spatula to spread the toffee mixture over all of the crackers so there are no bare spots.
- Place into the preheated oven for 5 minutes. The toffee will be bubbly when you pull it out of the oven.
- Let the toffee cool for 3 minutes.
- While the toffee is cooling, add the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals and stir after each interval until the chocolate chips are completely melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate on the cracker candy and spread it out evenly and to the edges with an angled spatula.
- Sprinkle the festive sprinkles on top of the chocolate while it’s still wet and let it set up, about 2 to 3 hours.
- Chop the chocolate into triangles or squares and store in an airtight container.
