Ingredients
  

  • 35-40 Saltine Crackers one sleeve
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter equivalent to 2 sticks
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  • Preheating: Initiate the process by setting your oven to a temperature of 400°F (204°C).
  • Pan Preparation: Utilize a 10x15 inch baking pan, lining it meticulously with aluminum foil. Ensure a light coating of grease is applied to the foil to facilitate non-stick properties.
  • Arranging Crackers: Carefully place the saltine crackers in a single, even layer across the prepared pan, ensuring full coverage.
  • Caramelization Process: In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Place over medium heat. Once the butter has fully melted, stir the mixture continuously and allow it to come to a boil. Maintain this state for a duration of 3 minutes.
  • Application of Caramel Layer: Proceed to pour the hot butter and sugar mixture over the arranged crackers. With diligence, spread the mixture to ensure all crackers are uniformly covered.
  • Baking: Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for a period of 5 minutes.
  • Chocolate Melting: While the crackers are in the oven, place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Melt them in the microwave using medium power, employing 1-minute intervals. Stir the chocolate between each interval until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  • Chocolate Application: Once the crackers are removed from the oven and allowed to cool for 5 minutes, spoon the melted chocolate over them. Spread the chocolate carefully to cover the entire surface. Embellish with sprinkles as desired.
  • Setting the Toffee: Allow the toffee to harden by setting the pan aside until the chocolate layer solidifies. This can be achieved at room temperature or by refrigeration, depending on preference and time constraints.
  • Final Steps: After the toffee is set, remove the entire piece from the pan. Gently peel off the aluminum foil. Break or "crack" the toffee into individual pieces.
  • Storage: Store the finished product in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerated for up to 10 days for prolonged freshness.
