Ingredients
- 35 saltine crackers
- ½ cup butter (1 stick)
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
To toast pecans:
- Place pecans in a small baking pan in a 350 degree oven. Cook for 5 minutes or until nuts are toasted.
Cup of Yum
For the toffee:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the crackers in a single layer in a small baking pan.
- Cook brown sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until butter is completely melted and mixture comes to a rapid boil.
- Pour over crackers and spread out with a wooden spoon or brush making sure to cover all the way to the edges of the crackers.
- Bake 5 minutes or until topping is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Turn the oven off and place the pan back in the hot oven for 1 minute to soften the chocolate chips.
- Remove from oven and spread chocolate evenly over the crackers.
- Sprinkle with nuts.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely until the chocolate has re-solidified. Break into pieces.
Notes
- When toasting pecans, keep a close watch on them. If you start to smell toasted nuts, take them out immediately. They're already done when you smell that toasty nut smell.
- If you prefer to use unsalted crackers, you can but your finished toffee will be missing some of that sweet-salty contrast that makes this recipe special.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature. It should last about a week. I don't recommend refrigerating the toffee because it can cause the crackers to become a bit soggy.
