🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 40 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it, then arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer, salt side up, covering the entire sheet.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt together, stirring constantly. Once bubbling, let it cook for 3 minutes without stirring, until it's thick and golden.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the vanilla, and immediately pour the toffee over the crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover every cracker.
4. Bake for 5-7 minutes until the toffee is bubbling all over. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee; let sit for 2 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate with a spatula.
5. If using, sprinkle with nuts and flaky sea salt. Let cool completely at room temperature, then break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
