How To Make - Step By Step Instructions
This recipe for peanut butter toffee candy is so simple. To start, line the bottom of a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
In the first step, create one layer of saltine crackers (the salty kind, of course) on your pan.

Next, combine the sugar and butter in a medium saucepan and bring the butter and sugar to a boil for 3 minutes. This step creates that yummy, buttery toffee!

Immediately after it's done boiling, spread it on the Saltine crackers, evenly coating all the crackers. Yep, it's going to smell good!

Then, place in a 400-degree F. oven for 5-6 minutes.
Once your saltine cracker candy is out of the oven, create your peanut butter layer by spreading the melted peanut butter over the top.
Then, top the peanut butter with chocolate chips and let it sit for 5 minutes. Spread the melted chocolate morsels around in a thick layer.
Oh, yes, a thick layer of chocolate!


When itit'slightly set, top with M&Ms or festive sprinkles! Cool, break into pieces, and enjoy!! Mouth-watering good!
