Ingredients
- 40 pieces Saltine crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil lightly with nonstick cooking spray or use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir to combine.
Step 4
Bring the butter and sugar mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Boil for about 3-5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly and takes on a deep caramel color.
Step 5
Carefully pour the caramel mixture over the layer of saltine crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure all the crackers are coated.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. The caramel layer should be bubbling when you remove it from the oven.
Step 7
Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel layer. Let the chips sit for 3-5 minutes to soften, then use a spatula or knife to spread the melted chocolate over the entire surface.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle sea salt over the melted chocolate while it is still warm for added flavor and texture.
Step 9
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature. For faster results, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the chocolate is set.
Step 10
Once fully hardened, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for longer storage.
