Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 40 saltine crackers approx. 1 sleeve
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark chocolate
Additional / Optional Toppings
- Nuts
- Pretzels
- Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Cover the sheet pan with saltines, salt side up, single layer.
- In a small sauce pan over low heat melt 2 sticks of butter and brown sugar. Using a rubber spatula do your best to mix as both the brown sugar and butter melt. Once melted let it come to a rolling boil for 2 minutes.
- Note: If you want the toffee to become real hard snappy toffee, boil for 3-5 minutes until the temperature reaches 270-280- degrees.
- Pour the brown sugar butter over the saltines and carefully spread it to apply an even coating across all the crackers. Using an offset spatula comes in handy for this step but a knife works as well.
- Place the tray back in the oven and cook for 5 minutes. Remove and top with chocolate chips, and place it back in the oven for 1 more minute to soften and melt the chocolate. Spread the chocolate in an even layer and top with preferred toppings.
- Place the saltines in the fridge for 1 hour to harden. Once hard either cut with a knife or break into desired pieces.
