Let it sit out for at least 30 mins before putting in fridge. Just let the heat of mixture soften them. I used to put the chocolate chips on then put back into the oven and for some reason it makes them hard to spread. Let it sit on there for two minutes or so and when soft I spread it around. Then I take it out and sprinkle the semi sweet chocolate chips on it aprox. I use heath bar chips (located in baking aisle)Once the mixture comes out of the oven I sprinkle them over the bubbling mixture and then put back into the oven for 2 mins. Don't touch the butter and brown sugar mixture once it starts boiling. I make about 10 pans of this every Holiday. Here are my 2 cents.I use Heath Bar chips (instead of pecans) on mine and it takes it to another level. I have read the reviews and have picked up some helpful tips. I am begged to make these every year! Kids, neighbors, coworkers etc.

A treat to satisfy that simultaneous cookie/candy craving (read: Twix bar). You could also use almonds for that true toffee experience. Easy clean up, and great for gift giving. Be sure to line a cookie pan with sides (jelly roll pan) with foil, and spray with a non-stick (I used butter flavor) spray prior to laying the saltines down. Piece-o-cake recipe, makes a lot for a little $$$, and people will be surprised when you tell them (if you do -) that you made it with saltines. I really think you do need to use DARK brown sugar for that true toffee taste. To the cooks that had gooey results, you may not have boiled the mixture long enough, or, baked it long enough for that matter. The chocolate and pecans put it over the top. Crisp, buttery, toffee-y (not a word) flavor. You probably need a little salt to give the flavor contrast. Very good! I used the saltines with the unsalted tops (not unsalted saltines, just no salt on the tops).
