Chocolate Crack -- Saltine Toffee Squares image

My GF passed this recipe along to me last year before the holiday. I am making it again today for a block party. It's a buttery chocolatey delight! Make a double batch, one with & with out the nuts. *Prep and cooking time does not include chilling/cooling time.

Time 25m

Yield 24 pieces/crackers, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces saltine crackers, 1 sleeve
1 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
12 ounces chocolate chips, semisweet
3/4 cup chopped pecan pieces, I prefer to chop to a finer texture in food processor

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Coat with nonstick spray.
  • Cover the bottom of the pan with a single layer of saltine crackers.
  • Melt butter and sugar over med-low heat. Whisk until butter melted and mixture begins to boil. Boil for 3 minutes, whisking constantly. All the sugar granules should be melted.
  • Carefully pour over the crackers.
  • Bake for 5-6 minutes until bubbly. The crackers may bubble & lift off the bottom of the baking sheet, don't worry!
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let rest for a couple minutes until choc chips begin to get glossy and soft.
  • Spread the chocolate over the toffee, sprinkle with nuts, pressing the nuts into the warm toffee.
  • Cool completely. *Best results when cooled in in the fridge.
  • Cut or break into pieces.
