Instructions

Prepare the Base
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the sheet.
Make the Toffee Layer
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let it bubble for 3 minutes without stirring.
- Pour the toffee mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading with a spatula.
Bake and Add Chocolate
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, until the toffee is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee.
- Let the chocolate chips sit for 2–3 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate smoothly with a spatula.
Add Toppings and Cool
- Sprinkle desired toppings (nuts, sprinkles, crushed candy canes) over the melted chocolate.
- Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Once hardened, break into pieces and serve.

Notes

For a nut-free option, use festive sprinkles or candy bits.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Swap saltines for graham crackers or club crackers for a variation in flavor.
