Equipment

  • 15" x 10 " jelly roll plan (or cookie pan)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups semi sweet, milk, butterscotch or peanut butter chips (1 x 12 oz bag- I prefer semi sweet chocolate)
  • 40 saltine crackers
  • chopped nuts, pretzels or cracker crumbs for topping (optional- I prefer crushed pretzels for a salty touch)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Line a 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan or a 12 x 17 inch cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking oil.
  • Lay a flat layer of saltine crackers out on the foil (I usually cut the final row of crackers with a pair of scissors so that they fit exactly within the edges of the pan).
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and the brown sugar until they reach a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and bring to a simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and the sugar is completely dissolved. It should be pretty thick, but thin enough to pour and spread on its own.
  • Pour this mixture over the crackers, and spread evenly with a spatula, ensuring that all crackers are evenly coated.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the toffee becomes bubbly.
  • After removing the pan from the oven, let it sit for 3-5 minutes to let it set up. Sprinkle on the chocolate (or other variety) chips and allow them to soften and melt for about 5 minutes. Then spread them into an even layer.
  • You can add nuts, crushed pretzel pieces, cracker crumbs or whatever else floats your boat at this point.
  • Let cool and break into bite-size pieces. To expedite the process, you can refrigerate the pan for a few minutes.
