Saltine toffee

The holidays are fast approaching and the only thing on my mind right now is candy, pies, and cookies galore. So today I’m sharing one of my favorite easy candy recipes, saltine toffee.
Saltine toffee may sound a little strange, but I promise it’s actually really delicious. The saltines are surrounded by a layer of toffee and topped with chocolate and pecans. And if you’re thinking this may be difficult to make, I can assure you it’s actually really easy.
You only need five ingredients to make this saltine toffee (yes, FIVE!). This recipe also makes a large batch of candy that’s perfect for gift giving or bringing to parties during the holidays. You can even swap out the pecans on top with sprinkles or simply leave them off. However you make it, this is one candy recipe you’ll want to keep on hand year round.
To make this candy, you’ll start out with a sleeve of Saltine crackers and line them up on a rimmed baking sheet. One important thing, make sure to use a baking sheet with sides – a rimmed baking sheet or half sheet. The toffee layer will spread in the oven and a rimmed baking sheet will prevent it from going over the sides of the pan.
Once you’ve prepared the saltines, you’ll melt down some butter and brown sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat. I suggest stirring the mixture until it’s melted and comes to a boil. Once it’s boiling, stop stirring completely and let it boil for 3 minutes.
After the 3 minutes, you’ll pour the mixture over the saltine crackers and spread it around. Then, you’ll pop it into the oven for about 5-8 minutes. You’ll know the toffee layer is finished when it starts to bubble all over.
Once you remove it from the oven, you’ll sprinkle some chocolate chips on top and let them sit for about 5 minutes so they can melt. After the chocolate chips are softened you’ll spread the chocolate all over, sprinkle some chopped pecans on top, then refrigerate until it’s firm.
