How to make ritz cracker toffee
Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place around 50 ritz crackers in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan on the stove, melt butter and brown sugar and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, stir constantly for 2 – 3 minutes, until thick.
There is no need for a candy thermometer for this recipe.
Step 3: Pour toffee mixture over the ritz crackers, and use a rubber spoon or spatula to spread it out evenly.
Step 4: Bake for a few minutes, until bubbly.
Step 5: Sprinkle chocolate chips (semi sweet) over the top of the toffee covered ritz crackers.
Allow the chocolate chips to set for a few minutes to melt, then use a rubber spatula to spread the chocolate out evenly.
Step 6: Place the ritz toffee in the fridge or freezer for an hour or two, until hardened.
Use your hands to break into pieces.
Store any leftovers in the freezer in an airtight ziploc bag for best texture.
If you are a fan of salty sweet treats, this ritz dessert is a dream come true.
Buttery ritz crackers are my favorite, and go so well with this sweet dessert!
This piece below was even broken into a Christmas tree shape.
If you want a change from the traditional saltine toffee crack, this ritz cracker version is a great choice!
This Christmas treat is hard to resist.

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!
