Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 13" x 18" baking sheet with foil. Arrange saltine crackers evenly on the sheet.
  2. Melt 1 cup of salted butter and 1 cup of light brown sugar in a nonstick pot over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Raise heat to medium and boil gently for about 4 minutes.
  3. Pour the toffee mixture over the saltine crackers and spread evenly with a spatula.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes until bubbling. Remove and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  5. While still hot, sprinkle 2 cups of milk chocolate chips over the toffee and let sit for 3 minutes to soften.
  6. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee and top with chopped pecans and Christmas sprinkles.
  7. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until the chocolate sets.
  8. Once set, break into pieces and serve.
