Ingredients
2sleeves Ritz crackers
1cup (2 sticks)salted butter
1cupbrown sugar
1/4teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1bag (11 oz)milk chocolate chips
Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°. Prepare a cookie sheet (about 12" x 18") and line with parchment paper or tin foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
Place crackers in a single layer on cookie sheet.
In medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar, and salt. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, let boil for 6-7 minutes. It will be thicker and much darker in color.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour over the crackers on the cookie sheet. Use a spatula or back side of a silverware spoon to spread it out evenly over the crackers.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until bubbly, thickened, and darker in color. Immediately after baking sprinkle the bag of chocolate chips over the toffee and let sit for 5 minutes. Spread chocolate evenly over crackers and decorate with Christmas sprinkles.
Let cool for 2 hours so it can come together and harden up. Break into pieces.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
There are 4 sleeves of Ritz crackers in a standard size box. You will just need 2 of them. It's about 45 crackers.
