Description

This Saltine Cracker Toffee Recipe combines crispy saltine crackers topped with a rich, buttery toffee layer and melted chocolate for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. Easy to make and quick to prepare, this treat is ideal for holiday parties, casual snacking, or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 sleeve Saltine crackers (128 grams, about 40 crackers)

Toffee

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (226 grams, 2 sticks)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar (213 grams)

Chocolate Topping

  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (170 grams)
  • 6 ounces milk chocolate chips (170 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange crackers: Lay the saltine crackers salt-side down in a single, tight layer to fully cover the baking sheet without gaps.
  3. Melt butter: In a nonstick pan set over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter slowly to avoid burning.
  4. Add brown sugar: Stir in the dark brown sugar and bring the mixture to a rolling boil while continuously stirring.
  5. Boil toffee mixture: Allow the butter and sugar mixture to boil for 4 to 5 minutes until it becomes lighter in color and bubbly, indicating proper caramelization.
  6. Pour over crackers: Carefully and evenly pour the hot butter-sugar mixture over the arranged crackers, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Bake toffee: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5 minutes to allow the toffee to set and bubble.
  8. Add chocolate chips: Remove from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle both semisweet and milk chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer.
  9. Melt chocolate: Let the chocolate chips sit for a few minutes to soften and melt naturally. If needed, place the pan back in the warm oven for 30 seconds to help the chocolate melt evenly.
  10. Spread chocolate: Using a spatula, carefully spread the melted chocolate over the crackers to create a smooth, even chocolate layer that covers every cracker.
  11. Cool completely: Allow the toffee to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until fully cold and set, about 1-2 hours.
  12. Break into pieces: Once chilled and firm, break the toffee into roughly sized pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent leaking and sticking during baking.
  • Keep an eye on the toffee mixture while boiling to avoid burning the sugar.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped nuts on top with the chocolate chips.
  • Store leftover toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
