Description
Saltine Cracker Toffee is a quick and irresistible treat made with layers of salty crackers, rich caramel, and melted chocolate. It’s crunchy, sweet, and salty—all in one bite—and perfect for the holidays or anytime you want a simple yet delicious dessert.
Ingredients
- 40 saltine crackers (enough to cover a standard baking sheet)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional toppings: chopped pecans, sprinkles, sea salt, crushed peppermint, or toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer, edge to edge, on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together. Bring to a boil and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and pulling away from the sides of the pan.
- Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the crackers and spread to coat.
- Bake for 5 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let sit for 2–3 minutes until softened, then spread evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle with desired toppings while chocolate is still warm.
- Allow to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until fully set.
- Break into pieces and store or serve.
