Saltine Toffee Candy with Pecans Recipe:
This recipe transforms everyday ingredients into a gourmet-like candy that’s crunchy, sticky, and absolutely addictive.
Ingredients:
- 40 saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the sheet.
- Cook Toffee Mixture: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Bake Toffee and Crackers: Pour the boiling toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers on the baking sheet, ensuring all crackers are covered. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling.
- Add Chocolate and Pecans: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the bubbling toffee. Wait about 5 minutes for the chocolate to melt, then spread it evenly over the toffee with a spatula. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted chocolate.
- Cool and Break: Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature. For quicker setting, refrigerate for about 2 hours. Once set, break the candy into pieces.
- Serve or Store: Serve the candy once it’s set or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
