Saltine Toffee

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the crackers as neatly as possible on the tray and roughly crush the remaining 5 crackers.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter and sugar, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Pour toffee over the crackers, spreading it a bit if it looks too thick in some areas (don't worry if it doesn't cover them completely). Bake for five minutes, until the toffee is bubbling all over. Pour the chocolate chips over the toffee crackers, and place tray back in the oven, making sure the oven is OFF. Let the heat of the oven melt the chocolate for a minute or two, then remove from the oven and spread the chocolate evenly over the crackers with a large spoon or offset spatula.

3. 3

   While the chocolate is still melty, pour reserved crushed saltines, pretzels, nuts, and/or chopped fruit over the top (I used pretzels for my first batch, and peanuts and walnuts for my second- see photos). Place in the fridge for about an hour so the chocolate has time to firm up a bit. Break up the candy into whatever size pieces float your boat and return to the fridge for a few hours to really firm it up or simply consume immediately! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week or in the freezer for months!
