Equipment
Ingredients
- 24 saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- Christmas sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 10x15-inch baking sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray it with non-stick cooking spray for easier removal.
- Place the saltine crackers in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat. Stir constantly and bring the mixture to a boil making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. Once boiling, continue to boil for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gently pour the hot toffee mixture over the cracker layer, ensuring it is spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until the toffee is bubbly and the crackers are golden.
- Take the pan out of the oven and quickly sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer.
- Allow it to sit for a few minutes to melt, then gently spread the melted chocolate over the crackers using a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans over the chocolate, then allow the entire sheet to cool at room temperature. Once cool, add extra holiday sprinkles for a festive touch, if desired.
- Once the toffee has hardened, break it into pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Boil the toffee exactly 2 to 3 minutes. Too short and it stays sticky. Too long and it burns.
- Have chocolate chips measured and ready before the pan goes in the oven.
- Line the pan and spray it. The toffee sticks.
- Let cool completely before breaking or the chocolate smears.
- Swap semi-sweet for milk, dark, or white chocolate chips.
- Store in an airtight container with wax paper between layers. Freezes up to 2 months.
