Ingredients

  • 30 saltine crackers
  • cups brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup butter salted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup Christmas-themed sprinkles a mixture of green, red, white, and chocolate sprinkles in various sizes

Instructions

  • On a large sheet or jelly roll pan, lay out a piece parchment or silicone baking sheet.
  • Fill the pan with crackers, if you need to break some to fill in the spaces, that’s fine. Set aside.
  • Over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and vanilla in a medium saucepan and gently heat until the butter is melted and the brown sugar is dissolved.
  • Then bring mixture to 270°f, measuring the temperature with a candy thermometer.
  • Once the mixture reaches, remove it from the heat and pour it over the cracker on the sheet pan. Spread the toffee mixture over every cracker.
  • While the toffee is still hot, top it with the chocolate chips and let them sit and get melty for a few minutes.
  • Once the chocolate chips appear melted, spread the chocolate over the toffee, covering the toffee and crackers. A silicone or offset spatula works perfectly.
  • Before the chocolate hardens, top it with the sprinkles.
  • Place the pan in the fridge for about 1 hour to fully harden the chocolate and toffee.
  • Remove and break the candy into pieces or use a knife to cut the pieces.
