This is a good quick dessert and better with graham crackers as others have said. In my oven it's ready in about 9 minutes.

Holy moly! This was very tasty and very easy. I put the crackers in 6x7 rows just to fill up the pan, but left the rest of the measurements the same, except eyeballing the chocolate chips. So yummy, and I had everything on hand. Just a note, I whisked the butter and brown sugar every 30 seconds, and cooked it for only 1 min 30 seconds as it smelled like it was about to burn. Keeping an eye on the power of your microwave and oven is a good idea. My oven runs hot so I cooked this batch for less than 10 minutes on 325. Gotta watch this stuff. Thank you for such a great recipe!

This is a very good recipe! Can't keep it around for very long at our house that's for sure! I also have a similar recipe that uses a box of graham crackers, 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 cup chopped pecans. Layer a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray foil with cooking spray. Place crackers onto p. paper or foil, close together but not on top of each other. Melt butter in small pan, add sugars, bring to a boil and stir every 30 seconds for about 2 to 2.5 minutes - judge carefully as this mixture can burn quickly! Pour butter/sugar mixture over crackers, add pecans, pressing them lightly into crackers. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. With a box of graham crackers, I typically get 3 cookie sheets full! Amazing with saltines too! Thanks for a great recipe!

I make this all the time, but I use my grandma's version. She uses grahm crackers rather than soda crackers and they NEVER fail.

I made these last nite and WOW sooo easy and made the house smell great! I used graham crackers because I didn't have any soda crackers and I used chopped walnuts. Hubby kept asking me when they were going to ready. He even had some for breakfast this morning! Thanks for the recipe.

Made it 1st time for work - 3 people asked for recipe. My son ate half the tin - and it made a lot. I didn't change a thing and even used salted saltines. So easy and good. I'm filling the Christmas tins with these and giving as gifts this season. Cheap and good!

I've never met anyone that didn't like these. I make these every Christmas for my husband's office and he never brings home leftovers. These are sooooo easy to make. Give them a try, you won't be sorry!

WhenI first read that this recipe had saltines in it I immediately judged that it would not be good, but based on previous reviews gave it a shot. I brought it into work for a co-workers retirement party. It was a huge hit and had several requests for the recipe. I used salted saltines, melted the butter and brown sugar in a pan - stirring constantly so it didnt burn. Make sure to use a cookie sheet with sides because it will leak. Baked at 350 for about 7-8 minutes (I used a stoneware bar pan, so if you make more than 1 batch beware that if the stone is warm for the 2nd batch cook less time!). I used 1 bag of mini milk chocolate morsels, pecans and pressed down with a spoon (as recommended by previous reviewers). I made 2 batches - so on the 2nd batch I used shredded coconut. Very very good. Next time might try different crackers and maybe some different types of toppings (marshmallow, caramel)...the possibilities are endless. Highly recommend this recipe - would be a great addition to a Christmas cookie platter.

What an easy way to whip up a quick dessert that everyone will love! This is also the perfect recipe to use when making goodies with kids- minimal steps, fast, yummy! You can experiment with the type of chips; chocolate are great, but others are equally good (cinnamon chips, butterscotch chips, etc). I'd never omit the pecans though. The recipe calls it optional, but I strongly disagree. It adds to the overall presentation in a huge way. I use glazed pecans and crunch them up while they're still in the package. They come out in all different sizes with a little dust, all of which look great on the finished product. This is a recipe to hang onto!

im glad i found this! it was incredibly easy to make. i microwaved the butter/sugar until the two blended and the sugar crystals were dissolved completely (took about 3 minutes for me) & i baked it at the temp called for on the recipe but turned it down to 325 degrees halfway through my baking time (which was 15 minutes total) because i worried it would burn. i took it out of the oven when i could see the tops of some of my crackers that werent completely covered in the butter/sugar mix were a nice golden brown & i immediately sprinkled with chocolate chips then waited a few minutes before spreading them all over the crackers which worked great. i do, however, think the butter/sugar mix needs to be doubled to get a nice (thicker) layer of toffee & next time i make it i think i'll break the crackers up slightly, rather than leaving them whole, just to fit my own personal preferences. thanks for the recipe!

This is the first recipe I've ever rated. It is awesome. I adapted slightly based on what other reviewers said, and it turned out perfect. I wasn't sure about the microwave approach, so here's what I did: 1/2 c white sugar, 1/2 c brown. Combine with 1 c butter in saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat; boil for 2 minutes (stirring constantly). Pour over 35 saltines, bake at 400 for 8 minutes. Sprinkle choc chips over top (1 c semi-sweet, 1 cup milk choc), let sit for a minute or two (no need to put back in oven), then spread with spatula. Sprinkle with 1/2 c chopped pecans. Refrigerate. Tips: use non-stick foil. It works great. Don't use a pan that's too big. Too much of the toffee runs off the sides rather than staying confined to where the crackers are. Push the nuts slightly into the chocolate with a spatula (or with wax paper and your hands). Put the pan in the refrigerator for an hour or two before breaking. YUM. This is amazing stuff. May try graham crackers next time. But honestly, the saltines are amazing (I used unsalted tops).

Made these for a bake sale. When my husband trid them, he wanted to know if I would save him half. I told him "no" you can buy them at the sale. Guess I will put aside a couple for him to enjoy. These are really, really good and so EASy to make. Thanks for the great recipe.

These are super sweet...too sweet for me. But, with that being said, they are tasty and have a good flavor. I sprinkled the top with chopped peanuts and sea salt. I let me set in the fridge overnight. When it came time for me to break it into pieces, the foil did stick to the bottom in some places, but it peeled off easily.
