This is a great recipe, but if you use a buttery cracker - our favorite for this is Keebler Clubhouse - it will be even better! Ritz also works well. I know someone who loves the large-size Cheez-Its with this but haven't tried that one. You can also stir in a teaspoon of vanilla to the sugar/butter after removing from heat for added flavor.

They were great. As many others, I increased the amount of butter in the crust to 10 tablespoons (1/2 cup + 2 TBS) and doubled the amount of toffee.

Thank you Naples 34102! She wrote: I've been making this candy for many years because it's that good, and that simple. My recipe varies only slightly from this one, but it may help those who experienced any problems. Line your jelly roll pan with foil, then spray the foil with cooking spray. (This way you won't wreck your pan, and they won't stick) Heat the sugar and butter to boiling, then boil three minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Pour mixture over crackers and bake 5 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over top (I use milk chocolate as a matter of personal preference), then spread evenly as the chocolate begins to melt -- no need to return this to the oven. I then top with 1 cup finely chopped almonds or pecans, pressing down lightly. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, then break into pieces and store in refrigerator. This is no fail and just delicious...addicting too!

Definatley use the foil and grease it! My 3 year old helped me put the crackers out (1 sleeve filled the pan) and the rest was just as the recipe said, though I did boil the butter/sugar for 2-3 min. Turned out so great! Reminds me of tiger butter. It's the special treat for the first day of school! :)

OMG! get them out of my house NOW!! Ha! I didnt change much - lined pan with tinfoil and sprayed with butter flavored pam. Poured the sugar over the crackers and made sure it got underneath (so the bottoms are covered) and toasted some almod slices because I didnt have walnuts. Also - ran out of chocolate chips so added some mini baking kisses and butterscotch chips. They are so delicious!!

This was super easy to make. Tastes great too!! Make sure you don't over cook the sugar/butter mixture or they will taste burnt. I took them out of the oven a little early so they were a little chewier. Yum Yum!!!!

I substituted Heath English Toffee Bits/Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits for the chocolate chips. I sprinkled the top, after baking, with the entire 8 oz. bag, and lightly pressed them into place. Looks like a real confectioners treat!

I love this recipe. BUT, here are a few tips. Do not use cheap or store brand chocolate chips--they do not melt the same. I suggest Nestle or Hershey. Also, I prefer to use a dollop of crisco to help melt my chips rather than milk. I tried cheap chips and milk this time and its was horrible. They didn't melt fully and ended up gritty.

I have made these before with a different recipe and will say that this was a disaster. Like a few other reviewers who had trouble melting the chocolate in the oven, my chocolate crumbled and would not spread at all. I'm sure they'll taste fine, but they look awful. The only difference between this and the one called Saltine Toffee Bars is that after you add the chocolate, you do not place it back in the 400 degree oven. Too much heat destroys chocolate. Next time, I'll probably try covering it with foil like another reviewer suggested and let the chocolate melt slowly.

I've had these before and always liked them. I love how simple they are to make. I followed other members suggestions and boiled sugar/butter mixture for at least 8 minutes. I sprinkled chopped walnuts on top. Had a hard time cutting into nice squares, so just ended up breaking into pieces.

I make this recipe every Christmas and usually a time or two during the year and we all love it. Like some other reviewers said, definitely line the pan with foil and then I always spray it with cooking spray as well. I use enough saltines to linet the bottom of the pan and break some in half to fit the edges. I get the butter, brown sugar, and a touch of vanilla boiling and boil for 5 minutes, then put in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. I pull the pan out, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top, and cover it with foil for a few minutes. Then take the foil off and the chocolate is easily spreadable. We use Planter's sundae peanuts on top, and refrigerate until solid. For gifts, I break into abstract pieces and put in treat bags or boxes with gold tissue or ribbon. Hope this helps!

I give this recipe 3 stars as it is written because 1) it would have been a huge mess if I had not lined the pan with something (I used parchment paper and it worked fine) 2) I think there was too much liquid - the buttery mixture ran everywhere and ended up also coating the underside of the crackers. Or maybe I didn't use enough crackers? Like others, I'm not sure how much 10 oz. of crackers is. Maybe I should use less butter, or maybe should boil it longer as some others have suggested. 3) I don't know why, but the chocolate didn't melt very well. I tried to use a spreader to spread it around and it just clumped up in big chocolate blobs, while some of the chips never melted at all. How can chocolate not melt in a 400 degree oven?? Anyway, these tasted good, but weren't very pretty or appetizing-looking, so they weren't very popular at the party. Since the taste was good, I will make them again, but I will probably use less butter, boil it longer, and melt the chocolate separately and then pour it over the top.
