Once boiling, stir the mixture constantly for 2 – 3 minutes, until thick.

Use your hands to break the toffee into pieces.

Can I use town house crackers instead?
I think that would be good!
I made it with white chocolate instead of real chocolate, OMG SOOOO GOOD!!!
yum!!
Mine didnt turn out gummy or chewy, but they aren’t crunchy either?
Did I do something wrong?
Did you alter the recipe at all?
Should I sprinkle with salt as well?
Flaked sea salt would be a delicious addition!
Well, I’m on my fourth pan now.
It’s pretty incredible!
I suppose I should have shared more than just the one pan that I managed to force myself to share.
Maybe next time. 😉
Awesome dessert. Made it twice now. Easy, quick and delicious. Doesn’t last long. Gone in no time!
This Ritz Cracker Toffee is great and highly addicting! So super easy to make!
wouldn’t it be just as easy to melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and pour the melted chocolate over the crackers?
No, that would actually take longer! When you sprinkle the chips over the top, the heat from the oven baking it melts them for you!
