Saltine Cracker Toffee

Ingredients:

40 salted saltine crackers or enough to line your pan - one sleeve of crackers

1 cup unsalted or salted butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips

(optional) 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Line saltine crackers in a single layer on the cookie sheet. 

 

In a small pot combine sugar and butter and bring to a boil. Once mixture is at a boil, continue boiling for 3 minutes. Mixture should be a deep caramel color. Immediately pour over saltines and spread to cover crackers completely.

Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes. It will get all bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let sit a couple of minutes to melt. Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts if desired. Cool completely and break into pieces.  You can place in refrigerator to harden the chocolate quicker.
