Saltine Chocolate Toffee (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup chopped almonds or festive sprinkles.
02 -
40 crackers (use saltines).
03 -
A cup of butter.
04 -
Spray for cooking.
05 -
A packed cup of brown sugar.
06 -
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips (look for Guittard or Ghirardelli brands).
# Instructions:
01 -
Line your baking tray with a sheet of foil and lightly spray it, or grab a silicone mat if you've got one.
02 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
03 -
Arrange the crackers neatly on the lined tray so they cover it in one layer.
04 -
Combine the butter and brown sugar in a pot. Turn up the heat and let it come to a boil, then boil for 3 minutes straight.
05 -
Drizzle the hot toffee mixture over the crackers and smooth it out so every piece gets covered.
06 -
Pop the tray in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the toffee bubbles.
07 -
Take the tray out and scatter the chocolate chips over the top. Put it back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes, just enough to melt the chocolate, then spread it around evenly.
08 -
Scatter sprinkles or almonds over the gooey chocolate before it sets. Let the tray cool all the way—on the counter or in the fridge—then break it into chunks.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make this up to 5 days in advance.
02 -
Skip Nestle chocolate chips since they don't melt smoothly.
03 -
A small offset spatula works great for spreading chocolate.
