Ingredients
24 Ritz crackers (2 per cup)
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles
Tip: Be sure to grease your muffin liners or use silicone liners so the toffee doesn’t stick!
Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease them with cooking spray (to prevent the toffee from sticking).
2. Place the Base: Place 1 Ritz cracker flat at the bottom of each of the 12 lined muffin cups.
3. Make the Toffee: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of packed dark brown sugar together. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it bubble for about 3 minutes until thickened and smooth.
4. Pour Over Crackers: Carefully spoon the hot caramel toffee mixture evenly over each Ritz cracker in the muffin tin.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes until bubbly.
6. Add Chocolate: Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips evenly across the hot toffee cups (about 2 tablespoons per cup). Let them sit for 2–3 minutes until softened, then use the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate smoothly over the top.
7. Decorate & Chill: Scatter the Christmas sprinkles over the melted chocolate. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to set completely. Peel off the liners and enjoy your festive holiday treats!
