Easter Toffee (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 48 Saltine crackers (regular), or more depending on the size of your baking sheet
02 - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
03 - 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed

→ Topping

04 - 6 ounces white chocolate chip morsels (best quality possible)
05 - 1-2 drops of gel food coloring (optional, red for pink and green for pastel colors)
06 - Easter and Springtime-themed sprinkles and candy, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, making sure the parchment extends up the sides.
02 - Lay out 48 (or more) saltine crackers in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
03 - In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and packed dark brown sugar together. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the mixture is well combined and bubbly.
04 - Carefully pour the hot butter-sugar mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers.
05 - Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes. The butter-sugar mixture should be bubbly when you remove it from the oven.
06 - Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Wait a few minutes for the chocolate to soften and melt.
07 - Using an offset spatula, spread the melted white chocolate evenly across the toffee. If desired, mix in 1-2 drops of food coloring with the melted white chocolate for a pastel effect. Immediately add Easter sprinkles and candy decorations while the chocolate is still soft.
08 - Place the toffee in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
09 - Once fully set, break the toffee apart with your hands or cut into pieces with a sharp knife. Package for gift-giving or serve and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Instead of white chocolate chips, you can use colored candy melts in the same amount
02 - Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week
03 - Can be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container
04 - Makes a wonderful homemade Easter gift when packaged in decorative bags or tins
