Ingredients

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir until smooth and well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Carefully pour the toffee mixture over the saltine crackers, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the toffee layer is bubbly and caramelized.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer.
- Allow the chocolate chips to melt for a few minutes, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the toffee layer.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the melted chocolate.
- Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for faster cooling.
- Once completely cooled and set, break the saltine toffee cookies into smaller pieces.
- Serve and enjoy!
