🧂 Ingredients

1 sleeve saltine crackers

(about 40 crackers)
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar

(light or dark)
2 cup chocolate chips

(any variety but I like milk chocolate best)
1 cup chopped pecans or other nuts

(optional)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.On a large baking sheet, lay out foil or
parchment and then cover the top in a single layer of saltine crackers.
2 In a sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat and then add the brown sugar.
Whisk to combine and then bring to a quick boil. Whisk continuously while
boiling for about 3 minutes (until it develops a deeper brown color). The
temperature will reach 270 degrees F to 290 degrees F.
3 Pour the mixture over the saltine crackers and spread evenly. Place the baking
sheet into the pre-heated oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and
turn the oven OFF.
4 Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the saltine crackers, then place back
in the oven for 2 minutes. Remove from oven and use a spatula to spread the
chocolate evenly over the top.
5 Add chopped nuts over the top, then place into the fridge for at least 1 hour or
overnight to harden.
6 Break or 'crack' apart the saltine cracker toffee into bite-sized pieces and
enjoy!
