Ingredients

40 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans or other toppings (sprinkles, candies, etc.)

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; spray with nonstick spray.
2
Arrange 40 saltine crackers in a single layer, edge to edge, across the pan.
3
In a saucepan, melt 1 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup brown sugar over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly; boil for 3-4 minutes until thick.

Pour hot toffee over crackers and spread evenly. Bake for 5 minutes; toffee should bubble all over.

Top with 1/2 cup chopped pecans or desired toppings and a pinch of sea salt if using.
