🔪 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
-
Line a rimmed 9×13 baking sheet with foil or parchment and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
-
Arrange saltines in a single layer to cover the bottom completely.
2️⃣ Make the Toffee
-
In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat.
-
Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly (it will bubble and thicken).
-
Pour the hot toffee evenly over the crackers and spread quickly with a spatula.
3️⃣ Bake
-
Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, until the toffee is bubbling.
4️⃣ Add Chocolate
-
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee.
-
Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate evenly with a spatula.
5️⃣ Top & Chill
-
Add your favorite toppings while chocolate is still warm.
-
Refrigerate or freeze for about 30 minutes or until fully set.
6️⃣ Break Apart
-
Once cooled and hardened, break into pieces (“crack”) and store in an airtight container.
✅ Tips
-
Use graham crackers or Ritz crackers for a twist.
-
Want extra crunch? Add a layer of crushed pretzels on top of the chocolate.
-
Stores well for up to 1 week at room temp, or 2 weeks in the fridge.
