By melanieroe

Ingredients

• 16 ounces box Club crackers
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips (12 oz bag)
• 2 cups chopped pecans (salted or unsalted)

Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees, using the middle rack.
2 Line a 10-inch by 15-inch jelly roll pan with foil. (You can also use a cookie sheet, but be sure to turn the edges of the foil up) Spray the foil with cooking spray.
3 Line the pan completely with crackers, salt side up. Cover the whole bottom. Set aside.
4 Combine the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring constantly. If it sputters, reduce the heat. If it stops boiling, reduce the heat. NEVER STOP STIRRING.
5 Pour the mixture over the crackers as evenly as possible.
6 Slide the pan into the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
7 Remove pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips. After a minute or two of melting, spread the chips with a spatula.
8 Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top and refrigerate.
9 When the toffee has chilled thoroughly, peel it from the foil and break it into random sized pieces.
