Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Saltine Toffee
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 15"x10" rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange a single layer of saltine crackers on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface closely without overlapping.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine unsalted butter and brown sugar, stirring until melted. Bring to a gentle boil and let it boil for 3 minutes while stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and pour the toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers. Spread with a spatula to cover all crackers.
  5. Bake for about 5 minutes, until the toffee is bubbly and slightly foamy. Keep an eye to avoid burning.
  6. Sprinkle semisweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee layer and let sit for 2-3 minutes to melt.
  7. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee using a spatula. Add any optional toppings if desired.
  8. Allow to cool at room temperature until fully hardened, about 30 minutes to an hour, or refrigerate to speed up the process. Cut into squares or break into pieces once cooled.
