📖COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. I used an 18 x 13 x 1 inch pan. You need the lip on the pan to keep liquid from running off in your oven. Spread the crackers on the pan like in the photo below. In a pan on top of the stove combine the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil on medium heat and then boil for 3 minutes. DO NOT STIR WHILE BOILING.
Step 2
Remove from stove after boiling 3 minutes and spread over the saltine crackers with a knife. The mixture should be at soft ball stage or should make a soft ball when a little is dropped in ice water. Have your oven preheated to 400 degrees. Read more below.

⭐TIP
This toffee will last a bit so you can easily make it in advance and store it in a air tight container. You can also make a pan and mix up the toppings, do half the pan with nuts, the other half without, etc.
