Ritz Cracker Toffee

Step 1

Start by lining an 8" x 8" pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place Ritz crackers in an even layer covering the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Next, combine butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and heat until melted. Boil the mixture for 2-3 minutes WITHOUT stirring.

Step 4

After boiling, immediately pour the caramel mixture over the Ritz crackers in your pan. Use a spatula to spread the caramel out in an even layer.

Step 5

Place the pan in a 425 degree oven for 5 minutes to help thicken and set the caramel.

Step 6

Next, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips in an even layer on top of the caramel. Then pop the tray back in the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate chips.

Step 7

Spread the melted chocolate immediately after removing the pan from the oven and sprinkle with crushed candy cane for a festive look! Let the whole thing cool completely in the fridge (about 2 hours) before breaking into serving-sized pieces.
