Description
A delightful holiday treat combining crunchy saltine crackers with a rich toffee layer topped with melted chocolate and nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sleeve Saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Melt unsalted butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until it reaches a gentle boil. Let it bubble for about 3 minutes without stirring.

- Let cool completely, then break into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Keep an eye on the toffee while cooking to prevent burning. Let it cool completely before breaking for best texture.
