Ingredients

35 Saltine crackers 1 sleeve
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup assorted toppings M&M's, chopped nuts or sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a rimmed 15 by 10-inch jelly roll sheet with parchment paper. Line crackers in a single layer on prepared baking sheet, set aside.
Add the butter and brown sugar to a medium saucepan and melt until blended over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a full boil and then boil for about 3 minutes.. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the hot caramel over crackers and spread evenly.
Bake in preheated oven 5 minutes.
Carefully remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes for the chocolate to melt and spread the chocolate over the crackers to completely cover using an offset spatula. Sprinkle evenly with M&M's. chopped nuts or sprinkles if desired.
Transfer to the fridge and let the chocolate set for about 30 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, remove from the fridge and lift the crackers from parchment paper. Break into pieces and serve!

Notes

This will not stick to the parchment paper, and comes off easily. Some recipes call to line the pan with foil, but the toffee will stick to the foil, even if it's sprayed with cooking spray. Use the parchment paper for easy baking and removing.
