To have delicious saltine toffee be sure to buy only a good national brand of chocolate chips. I have found some store brands or bargain brands do not melt properly.
Ingredients
48 saltine crackers
1 cup salted butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Line large pan with foil (11\"x17\").
Combine butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the mixture comes to a rolling boil, let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
While the mixture is coming to a boil, place crackers in a single layer on the foil.
Very carefully pour the toffee mixture over the crackers.
Place the pan in the oven and bake 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly. Turn the oven off.
Remove from the oven and rest 1 minute.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and let sit 4-5 minutes or until chocolate is soft. Spread chocolate evenly.
Sprinkle the top with salt, crushed pecans, almonds or sprinkles.
Cool at room temperature 25 minutes. Refrigerate or freeze to cool completely. Break or cut into pieces.
Notes
Be sure to allow the mixture to come to a full rolling boil before you start the timer.
The candy mixture will be extremely hot, be cautious with pouring.
If you only have unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the toffee before pouring over the crackers.
Light or dark brown sugar work in this recipe.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Saltine Toffee can be frozen for up to 3 months.
