A crunchy, sweet, and salty snack. You can easily change things up by using other flavored chips in place of the regular chocolate chips.

ingredients
1 sleeve saltine crackers
1 cup butter (not margarine)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 bag (12 ounce size) chocolate chips
chopped or crushed nuts, optional
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the saltine crackers on the foil, single, not on top of each other.
In a saucepan, melt together the butter and sugar. Pour the butter/sugar mixture onto the crackers. Place in the oven for 5 minutes. It will be bubbly when it comes out. Turn oven off. Pour the chocolate chips over the crackers. Place in the oven for about 1 minute to get the chips soft.
Remove from oven and gently spread the chips, like icing. Sprinkle with nuts (if using). Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Break apart, like brittle. Store in an airtight container.
Variation -- use a mixture of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.

We call this crack candy. Super easy. If I'm making this for other purposes than just snacking (ie having guests who might eat it) I melt some white chocolate and do a zig zag drizzle over the crackers. Makes it prettier.

Used for our church's Valentine Banquet this weekend. Rave reviews! Many requests for the recipe. I've seen similar recipes with more or less butter or sugar and some use brown sugar. This was the simplest. You can use your imagination to top it with nuts, white choc. chips etc. but it is great as is.

Very easy to prepare and surprisingly delicious! I didn't have saltines on hand and used multi-grain club crackers...turned out just fine. Could get by with less chocolate chips if desired; they made quite a thick layer (which of course is delicious).

My family was horrified when I said I was making this same recipe a few years ago, After all I was putting saltines in their toffee? However it is delicious and addicting, we love to sprinkle chopped, roasted walnuts on at the end.

I've made this several times with adjustments. I've added Reese chips & Semi Sweet chips and I also use whole wheat saltines. I like it better with the whole wheat. The family loves this and I've made as a fund raiser for our humane society. Big Hit!

This recepe is sooo good.. I have been making this since I was a child with my Mom. Everyone has got to try this. I couldn't find the recepie it's been a while since I made it. Thanks for posting.
I make this recipe but there were a few important details left out of the recipe above. Yes, use a cookie sheet with sides. Boil the sugar/butter mixture for 3 minutes, pour over the crackers, spread and bake for 5 minutes at 375*. Remove, cool one minute on rack, then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Wait one additional minute, then spread the melting chocolate all over the toffee. I always finish off with finely ground almonds and press into the chocolate. Put in freezer for 15 minutes to cool quickly. Break up and store in the refrigerator in airtight container.

Tastes just like a Skor Bar.

I made these but used one cup choc and one cup butterscotch chips. I melted the chips first and spooned it over crackers while they were warm... Very good and easy to make.

Quick and easy to make. Can taste the browned butter with the great chocolate. Not too sweet with the interesting crunch of the saltine. Would never know it's a cracker, just has a crunch yet creamy chocolate and gooey butter. Love um!
I am not certain about this recipe. I see it has 5 stars, but it almost seems like the butter and brown sugar amounts are mixed up. As is, it does not have much of a toffee taste. You also need to have sides on your cookie sheet or move the foil up as the toffee liquid runs off the sheet. It's also really messy to spread the chocolate as the crackers keep moving. Are you sure this was a 5 star rating?
