Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat mat. Place Saltine crackers on the pan and make sure they touch and the parchment extends past the crackers.  
  • Combine the sugar and butter in a medium saucepan, stir the butter and sugar together, bring to a boil, then cook for 3 minutes without stirring. (A teeny bit longer if at higher elevations.) Let it cook undisturbed, but watch the mixture; it cooks quickly! Pour immediately over Saltine crackers making sure all the crackers are completely covered.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate morsels over the top. Let sit for 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate evenly over caramel. Then, top with roasted chopped nuts. Refrigerate toffee for 2 hours. Once set, break into pieces. Enjoy!
