Ingredients:
- 4 ounces pretzel crackers (or saltine crackers for a classic touch)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Arrange the pretzel crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are close together but not overlapping.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of dark brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil. Let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the crackers, using a spatula to spread it if needed. The crackers should be completely covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Using a spatula, gently spread the melted chocolate into an even layer. Sprinkle ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans over the top, if desired.
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature for about 25 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Once cooled, break or cut into pieces.
Enjoy this crunchy, sweet, and irresistible saltine toffee as a delightful treat or gift it to friends and family!
