Ingredients
  

  • 54 Ritz Crackers (or saltines)
  • 1 c butter
  • 1 c dark brown sugar
  • 2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 c chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line an 11x17 with foil and grease the foil well. Line with crackers.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar and stir to mix. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let come to a rolling boil for 3 minutes. Once the mixture comes to a boil, DO NOT STIR. (Your toffee should reach 270-290 degrees if using a candy thermometer)
  • Pour brown sugar mixture over the crackers. Bake 4 minutes. Turn the oven off.
  • Remove from the oven and wait 1 minute. Pour chocolate chips over the top and let sit 4 minutes or until chocolate is soft (or place 1 minute in the warm oven). Spread chocolate evenly and sprinkle pecans on top.
  • Cool on the counter slightly and then place into the freezer to cool completely. Break into pieces.
