Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Large Pot
- Wooden Spoon
- Frying Pan
- Oven
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 35 pieces Saltine crackers 1 sleeve
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar packed
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- Christmas themed sprinkles
- Red & green mini M&Ms or regular size M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a 15"x10" cookie sheet with rims with parchment paper.
- Lay a single layer of saltine crackers in the pan.
- Place the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. As soon as it comes to a full boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for exactly 3 minutes (set a timer!), stirring constantly.
- Pour the brown sugar butter mix over the saltine crackers, so that it's evenly distributed.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. It will be very bubbly when you pull it out. Place it on a cooling rack and immediately sprinkle with the chocolate chips.
- Wait a couple of minutes for the chocolate chips to begin melting, then use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the saltines and caramel.
- If you'd like, you can add Christmas themed sprinkles and/or M&Ms. I love to use mini M&Ms on these. A light layer of flaky sea salt is always good, too!
- Let the saltine toffee cool until hard (this may take an hour or more). If you want to accelerate the process you can place it in the fridge to cool.
- Cut into squares to serve.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to one week.
