Ingredients

• 50 pieces Saltine crackers
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
• 0.25 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, ensuring the edges are well-covered, and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Arrange the Saltine crackers in a single layer over the prepared baking sheet, with edges touching. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring frequently until the mixture is combined and begins to bubble. Allow it to boil for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it becomes a smooth toffee mixture.

Step 4

Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the Saltine crackers, using a spatula or offset knife to spread it if necessary.

Step 5

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the toffee starts to bubble again.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee layer. Allow the chocolate to sit for 2-3 minutes to soften from the heat.

Step 7

Using a spatula or knife, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee and crackers to create a smooth layer.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts and/or flaky sea salt over the top of the melted chocolate while it is still warm.

Step 9

Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature. For faster setting, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, or until firm.

Step 10

Once fully set, break or cut the toffee into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
