You cover the crackers with a cooked brown sugar mixture that becomes your toffee and bake. When it is done baking you sprinkle chocolate chips on top and allow them to sit for a couple minutes so they can get nice and melty so you can spread the chocolate around. Finally, you typically sprinkle almonds or pecans on top. Let it cool and devour. In this recipes case, we got rid of the nuts and replaced them with bacon.
