Cracker Toffee

This toffee is one of my kids' favorite treats and is so easy to make as far as making candy goes- no thermometers required. My daughter brought some to school with her and shared it with friends who wanted to know how to make it. So this post is for Madeleine's friends!  

Cracker Toffee

1 sleeve saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 400° Line 9x13"pan with foil. 

Lay all the saltine crackers out in one layer. 

Melt butter and sugar in saucepan, stirring over medium heat. Once butter has completely melted, turn up heat to medium high and stop stirring. Let boil for 3 minutes. 

Pour sugar butter mixture on top of crackers and spread until all crackers are covered. Bake in oven for 5 minutes. Take out of oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.  Pop back into oven for 1 minute until chocolate melts. Remove from oven and spread melted chocolate over top of toffee. 

Sprinkle with chopped nuts if you like. My kids love the plain toffee and cracker part, so often we put chocolate on just half of the batch- the plain part is always the first to go! Let cool for 30 minutes, then place pan in refrigerator for toffee to set. Break into pieces and enjoy!
