Cracker Candy Recipe: Easy Saltine Toffee Christmas Crack

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Arrange the saltine crackers tightly in a single layer across the entire prepared sheet.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and packed light brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is completely melted and the mixture begins to boil vigorously.
3. Once boiling, stop stirring and boil for exactly 4 to 5 minutes. This ensures the mixture reaches the 'Soft Crack' stage (approximately 285°F or 140°C).
4. Remove the toffee mixture from the heat, quickly stir in the vanilla extract, and immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the prepared saltine crackers, spreading quickly to cover all crackers evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let the chips sit undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes until they look soft and glossy.
7. Use an offset spatula to gently spread the melted chocolate into a smooth, even layer. Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
8. Once hardened, break the cracker candy into pieces of desired size and store in an airtight container.
