Saltine Toffee Cookies

1 tube saltine crackers
1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. chopped pecans-optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line cookie sheet with foil all the way up the sides. Line with saltine crackers in a single layer. In a saucepan combine butter & sugar. Bring to a boil & boil for 3 minutes, or longer until the mixture becomes frothy (if the brown sugar mixture doesn't boil long enough, it's very grainy). Immediately pour over saltine crackers & spread the mixture to cover the crackers completely. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven & sprinkle chocolate chips over the top & let sit for a few minutes until melted. Spread chocolate over all the crackers & sprinkle with crushed pecans. Cool completely & break into pieces.

**Sometimes I stick the pan in the refrigerator 15 minutes after it comes out of the oven to cool more quickly***
