- 35-40 saltine crackers
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 12 ounce bag dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet
- 1 cup heath toffee bit
- ¾ cup chopped roasted pecans
- ½ cup white chocolate chips melted
- Maldon sea salt optional
CARAMEL: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper, trust me, you don’t want to skip this! Place the saltine cracker side by side, in a single layer on the baking sheet; set aside. Melt the butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves, stirring as required until the caramel comes to a boil. Once it boils, don’t stir it, just let it cook for 3 minutes. Carefully pour the caramel over the saltines and make sure all the crackers are covered in the caramel, using an offset spatula. Bake for 8 minutes.
CHOCOLATE: Pull the baking sheet out of the oven and immediately top with the chocolate chips. Let the chocolate sit for a minute and heat through, then spread using an offset spatula. If all of the chocolate doesn’t melt right away, pop the baking sheet back in the oven for roughly 1 minute or until the chocolate spreads easily.
DECORATE: Top with chopped nuts and heath toffee bits. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave (see notes) and drizzle on top; sprinkle with Maldon sea salt if desired. Let cool for several minutes before placing it in the refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours or pop it into the freezer for roughly 30 minutes if you want to have them ready to eat quicker!
- if you don’t have salted butter, just spread the caramel on the saltines and sprinkle on a big pinch of flaked sea salt before topping with the chocolate.
- leftover saltine toffee can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Leftovers can also be frozen for a couple of months!
- to melt the white chocolate, pop it into a micowave-safe bowl and zap for 20 seconds. Remove and stir, if most of the chocolate chips are melted by this point, try stirring, if the chocolate is still solid, microwave for 10 seconds, stir, and see if that does the trick. White chocolate will seize up if it's zapped to long so it's better to do it in smaller increments if you've got a super powerful microwave!
