  • Total Time: 20 minutes plus cooling time
  • Yield: Approximately 24 pieces

Ingredients

Toffee Layer

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (220g) dark brown sugar

Base

  • 1 box (180g) Ritz Snowflake Crackers (original Ritz crackers can be substituted)

Topping

  • 1 bag (250g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single, tightly-packed layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Make the Toffee: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the dark brown sugar and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 3 to 4 minutes while stirring continuously to develop the toffee consistency.
  3. Pour the Toffee over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the layer of Ritz crackers, ensuring all crackers are coated. Spread gently with a spatula if needed.
  4. Bake the Toffee and Crackers: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbly and bubbling around the edges.
  5. Add Chocolate Topping: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. While the toffee is still hot, sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top. Let them sit for a few minutes until melted.
  6. Spread the Melted Chocolate: Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee and cracker layer.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting. Once fully set, break into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Using parchment or foil on the baking sheet simplifies cleanup.
  • Original Ritz crackers or Ritz Snowflake crackers both work well.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt on the melted chocolate before it sets.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Be careful when handling the hot toffee mixture to avoid burns.
