Ritz Cracker Crack

Each year I typically make a traditional English toffee but I altered my recipe this year to lend a more sweet and salty flavor. I basically made my English toffee, but I poured it over Ritz crackers and added a sprinkling of sea salt...DELICIOUS! This will be a stand-out on your Christmas cookie trays. 😉

Ritz Cracker Crack 

Ingredients:

1 cup of salted butter 

1 cup of light brown sugar 

1 -2 sleeves of "lightly salted" Ritz Crackers

1 cup of pecans, chopped finely 

1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips 

flaky sea salt for topping

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 
2. To make this recipe really easy, use a nonstick silicone baking mat (I use these!) on a cookie sheet. Use a little butter to grease the baking mat really well. 
3. Lay out the Ritz crackers evenly over the greased baking mat. Feel free to break the Ritz crackers into small pieces to fill in any gaps. 
4. Sprinkle your chopped pecans over the top of the Ritz crackers. 
5. Over medium heat, melt your butter in a skillet. Once your butter is melted, add in your brown sugar. 
6. Stir your brown sugar and butter mixture until it reaches a rolling boil, then stop stirring. Cook until it reaches the "soft crack" stage. 
7. Carefully pour the brown sugar/butter mixture over the crackers and pecans. Cook in your 350 degree oven for 4 minutes, then take out immediately. 
8. Sprinkle your entire package of semi-sweet chocolate chips on top. Once they are completely melted, spread evenly over the top using the back of a spoon. 
9. Once the chocolate is spread, sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top. 
10. I like to place this in the fridge at this point for a few hours until it is nice and set. Then, break it into bite-sized pieces. 
11. Store in the fridge or freezer and take out when it's time to serve. 
12. YUM. 😊
