Ingredients

• 1 sleeve (about 40) Saltine crackers

• 1 cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

• 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Optional toppings: crushed candy canes, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt

Instructions

1. 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.

2. Arrange the Crackers: Place Saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.

3. 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.

4. Pour Over Crackers: Pour the hot toffee evenly over the crackers, spreading it with a spatula if needed.

5. Bake: Bake for 5–7 minutes or until the toffee is bubbly and slightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

6. Add Chocolate: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let them melt for 1–2 minutes, then spread evenly.

7. Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still soft, add toppings like candy canes, nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt.

8. Chill: Allow the tray to cool completely, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.

9. Break and Serve: Once hardened, break into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
