Calories: 291kcal
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers 35-40 crackers
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 11-12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped nuts pecans, walnuts, almonds
- ½ teaspoon flake salt or kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Set out a 10 x 15-inch rimmed "jelly roll" pan. Line the pan with foil, then spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Place the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Set over medium heat. Allow the butter and sugar to melt and then bring to a boil. Boil the sugar mixture for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Carefully pour the liquid toffee mixture over the saltine crackers. Use a spatula to spread it over every inch of the crackers.
- Place the toffee crackers in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until you see lots of bubbles and crackly sections around the edges.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven, and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the toffee. Allow the chocolate to sit on the hot crackers for 3-5 minutes to melt, then take a spatula and spread the chocolate into a thin even layer.
- While the chocolate is still melty, sprinkle the top with chopped nuts. Then sprinkle the top with flake salt. Allow the candy to dry completely. If you're in a hurry, you can pop the pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden. Then break, or cut, the toffee into pieces.
