Ingredients
Ingredients
- 40 saltine crackers (or any similar plain crackers)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer covering the entire sheet.
- Make the toffee topping: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the packed brown sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning, until the mixture is bubbly and smooth.
- Bake the crackers with toffee: Immediately pour the hot butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the crackers on the baking sheet, ensuring each cracker is coated. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the toffee is bubbly and caramelized.
- Add the chocolate topping: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee-covered crackers. Let the chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes until melted, then use a spatula or knife to spread the chocolate smoothly over the toffee layer.
- Cool and set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or allow it to cool at room temperature until the chocolate and toffee have fully hardened, about 1-2 hours. Once set, break the toffee into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Use salted or unsalted crackers; adjust butter salt accordingly if using salted.
- For a different flavor twist, try using milk or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- You can add chopped nuts on top of the melted chocolate for extra crunch.
- Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
