Ingredients
1.5 sleeves salted saltine crackers about 45 crackers
1 cup unsalted butter (226g)
1 cup brown sugar tightly packed (200g)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (350g)
1 cup chopped pecans or other topping (100g)
flaky sea salt for sprinkling optional

Instructions
00:00 Introduction

00:25 Preheat your oven to 400F (205C) and line a standard-sized cookie sheet with foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray or grease lightly with butter.

00:53 Layer crackers evenly over the foil (salted side up); it's alright if there are spaces between the crackers and not every edge is completely filled in.

01:22 Prepare your toffee by combining butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Allow mixture to come to a boil and allow it to boil for three minutes -- do not stir while it boils.

01:58 Immediately remove from heat and pour over crackers (it's ok if some of them start to float, just try to keep them in an even layer), spread with a heatproof spatula to completely coat crackers.
Place in 400F (205C) oven for 5 minutes -- toffee will begin to bubble.

03:03 Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle chocolate chips over toffee. Return to oven for two minutes.

03:31 Remove and use a spatula or knife to spread chocolate evenly over crackers.
Sprinkle evenly with chopped pecans (or preferred topping -- or no topping!) and a scant amount of flaky sea salt.
Allow to chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until chocolate hardens. Cut into pieces using a large knife and serve.

To make this adult fancy… use a splash of caramel extract and a splash of bourbon (when making the caramel sauce. Use dark chocolate 70% chips (Trader Joes has them) for the choco layer. Pecans and a sprinkle of Himalayan salt like you suggested brings out the above flavors. It’s stellar.

I just made this for a friend's bday and had three people ask for the recipe. I have passed along this link. I tweaked it to have 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of peanut butter chips. So easy to make, definitely going to be a go-to recipe!

Fantastic recipe! Hubby and I used it as a date night. We used cashews so it was safe for people who have peanut allergies. Amazingly delicious!
