  • 40 saltine crackers about 1 sleeve
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup holiday sprinkles crushed candy canes, or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer.
  • In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar. Cook for 3–4 minutes until bubbly and thick.
  • Pour hot toffee over crackers, spreading evenly.

  • Add festive toppings (sprinkles, candy canes, or nuts) before chocolate sets.
  • Cool completely, then break into pieces and serve.

Notes

For a crunchy finish, make sure the toffee mixture boils long enough.
Swap saltines for graham crackers or Ritz for a fun twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
