Ingredients
- 48 saltine crackers
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line large pan with foil (11"x17").
- Combine butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the mixture comes to a rolling boil, let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
- While the mixture is coming to a boil, place crackers in a single layer on the foil.
- Very carefully pour the toffee mixture over the crackers.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly. Turn the oven off.
- Remove from the oven and rest 1 minute.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and let sit 4-5 minutes or until chocolate is soft. Spread chocolate evenly.
- Sprinkle the top with salt, crushed pecans, almonds or sprinkles.
- Cool at room temperature 25 minutes. Refrigerate or freeze to cool completely. Break or cut into pieces.

Notes
- Be sure to allow the mixture to come to a full rolling boil before you start the timer.
- The candy mixture will be extremely hot, be cautious with pouring.
- If you only have unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the toffee before pouring over the crackers.
- Light or dark brown sugar work in this recipe.
- Be sure to buy only a good national brand of chocolate chips. I have found some store brands or bargain brands do not melt properly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Saltine Toffee can be frozen for up to 3 months.
