Ingredients

  • 35 saltine crackers
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or bittersweet

Topping Options

  • crushed candy canes
  • nuts
  • holiday sprinkles
  • coconut
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • Heat Smoker: Heat your smoker to 400F degrees with an indirect heat zone.
  • Prep: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the saltine crackers in a single layer in the center of a pan in seven rows of five.
  • Make Toffee: Place the sugar and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The toffee should come to a rolling boil and turn amber. See above for more details.
  • Layer 1: Spread the toffee onto the crackers.
  • Smoke: Place the pan on the smoker and smoke for 5 minutes. The toffee should be bubbling.
  • Layer 2: Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the toffee. Smoke for 3 more minutes.
  • Spread: Use an offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the toffee.
  • Top: Sprinkle on your favorite toppings.
  • Chill: Let the pan cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then, refrigerate it until the chocolate hardens.
  • Serve: Remove the pan from the fridge and crack into pieces.
