Ingredients
What you'll need:
Saltine crackers: This recipe calls for a sleeve of saltine crackers, which provide the perfect base for the sweet and crunchy toffee layer.
Butter: Use unsalted butter for this recipe to balance out the sweetness of the toffee layer.
Brown sugar: Brown sugar gives the toffee layer its rich and caramel-like flavor.
Semisweet chocolate chips: Once the bars are baked and cooled, they are topped with a layer of melted chocolate for an extra decadent touch.
Pecans: Chopped pecans are optional but add a delicious crunch and nutty flavor to the bars.
Sea salt: A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the melted chocolate adds a nice balance to the sweetness of the bars.
Instructions
Step-by-step guide:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, let it cook for 3 minutes without stirring.
Pour the hot toffee mixture over the saltine crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee layer.
Let the chocolate chips sit for a few minutes to soften, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans and a pinch of sea salt on top of the melted chocolate.
Let the bars cool for at least an hour, then break into pieces and enjoy!
