Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 sleeve Saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) Use quality butter for best flavor.
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate) Choose your preferred type of chocolate.
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) Recommended for added crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  3. Lay the Saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared sheet, covering the surface.
Toffee Mixture
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Stir continuously until it reaches a gentle boil.
  2. Allow it to boil without stirring for about 3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Remove from heat and carefully pour the hot toffee over the arranged crackers, spreading it evenly.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and has set.
  3. Remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a couple of minutes until softened, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly.
  4. Top with chopped nuts if desired, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
  5. Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature, then break it into pieces to serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for extended shelf life. No need to reheat, enjoy straight out of the container.
