Notes
- I recommend using regular, salted Saltine crackers.
- I don't pack the sugar. However, if you like the toffee sweeter, you can. Also, I use dark brown sugar for a richer toffee flavor. You can use light brown sugar, but it won't have as much toffee flavor.
- I use bittersweet chocolate chips to keep the toffee from being too sweet. However, you can use anything from milk to semisweet to bittersweet in this recipe.
