INGREDIENTS
  • 40 salted saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 package milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Additional optional toppings: Heath bar, nuts, candy or sprinkles

DIRECTIONS

  1. 1.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2.
    Line a large baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil (if using regular foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal). Spread the crackers out on the foil in a single layer and fold up the edges of the foil to box in the crackers. Set aside.
  3. 3.
    In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil for 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Quickly pour over the crackers and spread to cover completely.
  4. 4.
    Bake for 5 minutes in the oven. Turn off heat. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
  5. 5.
    Let stand for 1-2 minutes or until the chocolate starts to look shiny and is soft enough spread evenly over the toffee. If the chocolate is still not warm enough to spread after 4 minutes, place it back in the oven for a minute to help soften it.
  6. 6.
    Top with any additional toppings if desired.
  7. 7.
    Chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to harden. Peel away the foil and break into pieces.
