Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get started on making this easy and delectable treat!

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, making sure to cover the edges for easy cleanup.
  3. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. You can break them if necessary to fit the pan.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
  5. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading it out gently with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes to melt.
  8. Once the chocolate is melted, use a spatula to spread it evenly over the toffee.
  9. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top while the chocolate is still warm, pressing gently to help them stick.
  10. Let the toffee cool at room temperature, then refrigerate it until it’s completely set (about 1-2 hours).
  11. Once set, break it into pieces and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
