A delightful sweet and salty treat that combines crunchy saltine crackers with a rich toffee and chocolate topping, perfect for holiday gifting and gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 35 pieces salted saltine crackers about 1 sleeve
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Decorations
- Christmas-themed sprinkles optional
- Red & green mini M&Ms or regular size M&Ms
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a 15"x10" cookie sheet with rims with parchment paper.
- Lay a single layer of saltine crackers in the pan.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Once it reaches a full boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour the brown sugar butter mixture evenly over the saltine crackers.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Wait a couple of minutes for the chocolate chips to melt, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the saltines and caramel using an offset spatula or butter knife.
- Add Christmas-themed sprinkles and/or mini M&Ms if desired.
- Let cool until hard, about an hour. For faster cooling, refrigerate.
- Once hardened, cut into squares to serve.
Notes
Best served in small squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or refrigerate for longer storage. Watch the butter and sugar mixture carefully as it can burn after boiling.
