Place the crackers in a single layer on the jelly roll pan. You may have a little space left over - that is perfectly fine.
35 saltine crackers
Melt brown sugar and butter together in a 3 quart heavy bottomed sauce pan, stirring frequently over medium high heat.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar
Bring to a boil and boil for 3 full minutes stirring almost continuously. (If using a candy thermometer, you are looking for 270°F-290°F degrees.)
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt
Pour caramel mixture over the top of the saltines and spread evenly over the crackers.
Bake for 5 minutes in the preheat oven. Caramel should be bubbling vigorously when removed. (If using a candy thermometer, you are looking for 300°F-310°F degrees.)
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and cover the pan with foil. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2 cups chocolate chips
Remove foil and use an offset spatula to gently spread melted chocolate.
Sprinkle on toppings if desired. Let toffee set up at room temperature until completely cooled, or chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.
Carefully peel away the foil from the bottom of the toffee and then use your hands to "crack" it or use a knife to cut into pieces.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
