Ingredients

Scale
  • 40 saltine crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar together, stirring until it reaches a gentle boil. Let it boil without stirring for about 3 minutes until bubbly and slightly thickened.
  4. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltines, ensuring each cracker is well-coated.
  5. Bake for 5-7 minutes until bubbly and golden brown – watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee, let sit for a minute, then spread into an even layer. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle generously on top.
  7. Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces for serving.
