Ingredients:

40 Ritz crackers (I substituted pretzels)

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Place ritz crackers on the sheet and spread them out into rows
In a pan, bring butter and brown sugar to a boil
Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 – 3 minutes, until thickened
Pour over ritz crackers and spread out evenly with a rubber spoon or spatula
Bake at 375 degrees for 3 – 5 minutes, until the edges start to brown and bubble
Remove from oven and sprinkle immediately with the chocolate chips over the top
Allow chocolate chips to set and melt for around 5 minutes, then use the back of a spoon or spatula to spread the chocolate out evenly
Place ritz toffee in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes, or until set
Once hardened, use your hands to break the toffee into pieces
Top with sprinkles or toppings of your choice
Store leftover ritz toffee in an airtight Ziploc bag in the freezer
