Christmas Crack (Saltine Toffee Candy)

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 oz saltine crackers

  (2 + bags in a standard box)
• 1 cup butter

  (salted, 2 sticks)
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 11.5 oz milk chocolate chips

  (one package)
• 1 cup almonds

  (sliced, slivered or chopped - or your choice of nuts or Christmas sprinkles)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment
  paper and butter the surface. Place saltine crackers, salt side up, in rows on
  buttered surface until baking sheet is fully covered.
• 2 Combine butter and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high
  heat. Cook at a rolling boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove butter
  and sugar mixture from heat and pour evenly over saltine crackers. Use a spatula
  or your spoon to spread to the edges of the baking sheet if needed.
• 3 Bake for about 6 minutes (the toffee layer will be bubbling), then remove from
  the oven.
• 4 Add chocolate chips, sprinkling them over the hot toffee layer, and allow to
  melt for 5 minutes.
• 5 Spread melted chocolate with a spatula, pushing all the way to the edges of the
  baking sheet and covering the crackers and caramelized layer completely.
• 6 Sprinkle your choice of nut topping or Christmas sprinkles over the melted
  chocolate, then gently press into the chocolate for best results. Allow to cool
  at room temperature completely.
• 7 Refrigerate for 30 minutes before breaking apart. Peel up aluminum foil or
  parchment paper to begin breaking toffee. Store in an airtight container(s).
