2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Optional toppings: crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, then lightly grease it.
-
Arrange the Crackers: Place Saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Make the Toffee: Melt butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it reaches a rolling boil. Let it cook 3–4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.

Pour Over Crackers: Pour the hot toffee evenly over the crackers, spreading it with a spatula if needed.
-
Bake: Bake for 5–7 minutes or until the toffee is bubbly and slightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
-
Add Chocolate: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let them melt for 1–2 minutes, then spread evenly.
-
Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still soft, add toppings like candy canes, nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt.
-
Chill: Allow the tray to cool completely, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
-
Break and Serve: Once hardened, break into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
