Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Saltine Crackers (about one sleeve)
  • 1 cup butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ Sprinkles pecans, walnuts, etc. (optional)

Instructions

  • Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line the cookie sheet with crackers in a single layer.
  • Add the brown sugar and butter to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Stir occasionally.
  • Boil for 3 minutes.
  • Gently pour the toffee mixture over the crackers. Spread to the edges with a rubber spatula if necessary.
  • Place in a 400-degree oven for 5 minutes.
  • Take out of the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
  • Let the chips sit for a few minutes to get melty. (If your chips won’t spread well because they’re not melted enough, pop the tray back into the oven for a minute, then remove the pan to finish the spreading).
  • Spread the chocolate to the edges.
  • Top with sprinkles, pecans, or whatever you'd like.
  • Put in the refrigerator or freezer until hardened. (You can leave the candy out on the counter at room temperature to harden, but it will take longer).
  • Break into pieces.

Notes

Ritz, Saltines, or Club Crackers can be used for this recipe.
I used a 13" x 16" jello roll pan for this recipe.
If you pour the brown sugar mixture over the crackers too fast, the mixture will push the crackers around a little bit (speaking from experience). If that happens, take a spatula and push them back into place, and it will all turn out ok. (Don’t use your fingers, or you might burn them–also speaking from experience).
