Why You Will Love This Recipe
This recipe has many different names such as Cracker Toffee or Christmas Crack.
Cracker Toffee candy is typically made of crackers, butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and a variety of toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or candy canes.
The crackers are arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet, topped with a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar, and baked until bubbly. Chocolate chips are then added to the top and melted in the oven before the candy is finished with the desired toppings and allowed to cool and harden before breaking into pieces.
For savory twist try adding some chopped up bacon or nuts.

How to make Sweet and Saltines
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 1 Prep the baking sheet Line 1 large or 2 small jelly-roll pans with aluminum foil, spray with nonstick spray and arrange the saltines salt-side down in a single layer.
Step 2 In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and boil until it turns a caramel color, a few minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly.
Step 3 Put the jelly-roll pan into the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully. Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers. When the chips melt a bit, spread them over the crackers with a knife.
Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. They will form one big sheet. Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
Recipe Tips
🌟 Do not forget to spray the tinfoil before placing the crackers on top of tinfoil. They will stick pretty bad to the tinfoil if you don’t. Someone in the comments mentioned parchment paper also works instead of tinfoil.
