Christmas Crack Toffee Crunch (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
02 - 2 cups chocolate chips, semi-sweet.
03 - 1 cup brown sugar.
04 - 1 cup butter with no salt.
05 - About 35-40 crackers, saltines.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cover a 10x15 pan with foil, then spray it lightly with nonstick spray.
02 - Line the crackers tightly on the pan so they touch in neat rows.
03 - In a pan, heat your butter and brown sugar over medium-high. Keep whisking until it looks smooth and let it bubble for 3 minutes.
04 - Spread the hot toffee all across the crackers. Bake for about 5 minutes—it’ll bubble while baking.
05 - Pull the pan out of the oven. Sprinkle on chocolate chips and let them sit for a minute or two. Spread the softened chocolate over the surface.
06 - Scatter the chopped pecans over the still-warm chocolate layer.
07 - Pop it in the fridge for about an hour (or a few hours at room temperature) so it hardens.
08 - Break it up into bite-sized pieces and dig in!
