Ingredients

• 1 sleeve of Saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

Prepare the Toffee:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Arrange the Saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet, covering the entire surface.
2. Make the Toffee:
   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes bubbly.
3. Pour the Toffee Over the Crackers:
   Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the Saltine crackers, spreading it out to cover them completely. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until the toffee is bubbling and golden.

Add the Chocolate:

4. Melt the Chocolate:
   Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chocolate to melt. Once melted, spread the chocolate into an even layer over the toffee using a spatula.
5. Sprinkle with Sea Salt:
   Lightly sprinkle the chocolate-covered toffee with a pinch of sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.

Chill and Serve:

6. Cool and Set:
   Allow the Saltine Cracker Toffee to cool to room temperature, then place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to harden.
7. Break Into Pieces:
   Once set, break the toffee into pieces and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer freshness. Enjoy this sweet, salty, and crunchy treat!

Tips:

• If you prefer a smoother texture, you can add sweetened condensed milk to the chocolate mixture to make it creamier.
• For a bit of extra crunch, try adding crushed pretzels or other nuts.
• You can store the candy in the fridge to keep it firm, or at room temperature for a softer, chewier texture.

This Gooey Nutty S’mores Crockpot Candy is the perfect dessert for satisfying both your sweet and salty cravings with minimal effort. Whether you’re treating yourself or making a batch to share, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Enjoy!
