Print Recipe

This Cinnamon Sugar Churro Toffee combines the delightful crunch of Saltine crackers with rich, buttery toffee and creamy white chocolate. It’s a nostalgic treat that’s surprisingly simple to make and perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 40 Saltine Crackers
  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This step is crucial as a hot oven ensures the toffee cooks properly and sets perfectly on the crackers.
  2. Line a 10 x 15 baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with non-stick spray. This will make cleanup easier and prevent the toffee from sticking.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this mixture aside; it will be used to top the toffee later for that signature churro flavor.
  4. Place 40 Saltine Crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are closely packed but not overlapping; this is key for even coverage with the toffee.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of salted butter and 1 cup of brown sugar. Stir frequently over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Keep stirring continuously for exactly 5 minutes once boiling to prevent burning.
  6. Once the toffee mixture is ready, pour it evenly over the Saltine Crackers, using a spatula to spread it if necessary. Aim for even coverage to ensure every cracker gets its fair share of toffee goodness.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for exactly 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the toffee bubbles and coats the crackers. Keep a close eye to avoid burning!
  8. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. This allows the toffee to settle. If any crackers are overlapping, gently push them back into place with a butter knife.
  9. Immediately sprinkle 2 cups of Ghirardelli white chocolate chips over the hot toffee. The heat will melt the chocolate chips, making them easier to spread.
  10. After a few minutes, once the chocolate is melted, use a spatula to spread it evenly over the crackers and toffee.
  11. Finally, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the melted chocolate. This adds that delicious churro flavor that will have everyone coming back for more.
  12. Allow the toffee to cool completely before cutting or breaking it into pieces. This helps the toffee set up properly, making it easier to handle.
