Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 40 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)

Toffee Layer

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Lay the saltine crackers in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface.
  3. Make Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, let it cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes until thickened and bubbly.
  4. Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading it with a spatula if needed to cover all crackers.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling and bubbly around the edges.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee, allowing the heat to melt the chocolate.
  7. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the melted chocolate layer.
  8. Finish with Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the entire surface to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavor.
  9. Cool and Break: Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until set and hardened. Once cooled, break into bite-sized pieces and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Ensure the toffee mixture is boiling before pouring for a proper hard toffee texture.
  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, try mixing in dark chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the top once cooled.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate to keep it crisp longer.
  • Be careful when handling the hot toffee mixture to avoid burns.
