cupcake liners optional

Ingredients

12 Ritz Crackers
½ cup salted butter 1 stick
½ cup brown sugar light preferred
4 ounce mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

12 Ritz Crackers
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
½ cup salted butter

Bake them in the preheated oven for 4 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately top with 2 teaspoons of mini morsels on each one. Let them melt over the hot toffee until softened.
4 ounce mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Use the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate evenly over each treat and immediately top with sprinkles.

Pop each one out of the muffin pan and gently peel back the cupcake liners if used. Enjoy!
