Next, add butter and brown sugar to a small sauce pan and stir until combined over mediumlow heat. Let mixture boil for three minutes and stir constantly. Once boiled, pour mixture over the saltine crackers and put them in the oven for for f ive minutes. As soon as you pull the pan out of the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot crackers. When they start to melt, smooth the chocolate out with a silicone spatula. Allow the toffee to cool in the f ridge until hardened. Enjoy! 1. Use good chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips are, the better this recipe will taste. My favorite brands to use are Ghirardelli or Guittard. 2. Store toffee in the fridge. If stored on the counter the pieces can get soft and melt together. I like to put my broken toffee into a gallon sized zip lock and then we can pull out a piece at a time to soften as desired.
