1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. The pan needs to have a lip to it or the cookies will leak all over your oven. If you don't have parchment paper handy, use heavy-duty aluminum. Place saltines in the pan, salted side up. Leave just a bit of space between crackers so the toffee with encase the entire cracker when done.
