Ingredients

• 1 cup butter (NOT margarine - original recipe calls for unsalted butter but Ive used both)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 40 saltine crackers

Directions

• Heat oven to 400.
• Line 12x17 cookie sheet with foil and spray well with cooking spray.
• Layer the saltine crackers on top of the foil.
• Heat butter and sugar on stovetop and heat until gently boiling, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to low boiling and cook, uncovered, between 3 and 5 minutes, until the mixture is thickened and sugar is dissolved. (Be careful to avoid burning the butter and sugar- that will ruin the recipe, but do make sure the sugar is dissolved and mixture is thickening. This is by far the trickiest part of the recipe ~ just make sure it thickens and dissolves but does not burn.)
• Pour butter and sugar mixture over crackers and spread evenly.
• Bake 5-6 minutes in oven.
• Remove pan from oven and let cool 3 minutes, then sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over brown sugar mixture.
• As chocolate chips melt, carefully spread into an even layer over the toffee layer using a knife. (Note - I pop the pan back in the oven for about 20 seconds after sprinkling on chocolate chips so that they melt faster.)
• Refrigerate for one hour.
• Break into bite-sized pieces and serve. . . yum, store covered in refrigerator.
