Ingredients
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup salted butter
- 2 sleeves saltine crackers, salted
- 12 ounce bag semisweet mini chocolate chip morsels
- ½ cup Reese’s pieces
- ½ cup other favorite candies, chopped (like candy bars or M & M’s)
- chopped pecans, optional
Equipment needed
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Bowls
- Cookie sheet
- parchment paper
- Saucepan
- Spatula
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a 9×13 cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Place saltine crackers side-by-side until the baking sheet is filled. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter and dark brown sugar on medium-high heat.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil for about 3 minutes while stirring to ensure no sticking or burning.
- After the toffee has boiled for about 3 minutes, evenly pour it onto the saltine crackers. Take a spatula and spread the caramel toffee evenly onto the crackers. Do this quickly because the toffee will start to harden.
- Place the cookie sheet into the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the toffee starts to boil.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly distribute the semisweet chocolate morsels onto the boiling caramel. NOTE: The chocolate won’t be completely melted at this point and that’s ok.
- Add in the reese’s pieces, any other candies, and pecan chips. Take a spatula and spread evenly so the candies can start to melt.
- Put the baking sheet back into the oven and let cook, just long enough for the candies and chocolate to melt, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chocolate morsels have melted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to chill.
- Once it has completely cooled and is cold, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and start to break the crack candy into bite size pieces.
