Ingredients
  

For the Base

For the Topping
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips Feel free to use milk or semi-sweet chocolate for a different flavor profile.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking tray with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer.
  2. Melt the butter and light brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes until bubbly and glossy.
  3. Pour the hot toffee mixture over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes until the toffee is bubbling and slightly golden.
  5. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle melted white chocolate over the toffee-coated crackers, and spread evenly.
  7. Drizzle melted green chocolate over the chocolate layer and sprinkle with festive St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles.
  8. Cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then break into bite-sized pieces.
