Description

This Churro Saltine Toffee combines the crunch of Saltines with a sweet, buttery toffee and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for a delightful treat. Perfect for parties or satisfying your sweet tooth, it’s a quick and easy dessert that everyone will love!


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°F (200°C). This ensures the toffee cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
  2. Line a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil, then spray it with non-stick spray. This step is crucial to 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 sprinkled on top later.
  4. Arrange the 40 Saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they fit snugly without overlapping to ensure even coverage of the toffee.
  5. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of salted butter and 1 cup of brown sugar. Stir frequently over medium heat and bring to a boil. Keep stirring continuously — this is key to prevent burning — for exactly 5 minutes after it reaches a boil. The mixture should bubble and become a rich caramel color.
  6. Once the 5 minutes are up, immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers, ensuring even coverage. Use a spatula to spread it gently, but be careful not to disturb the crackers too much.
  7. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the toffee is bubbling and the edges are slightly golden.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven, and let it sit for a minute or two until the crackers settle. If any crackers are overlapping, use a butter knife to push them back into place gently.
  9. Immediately sprinkle 2 cups of Ghirardelli white chocolate chips over the hot toffee. The heat will melt the chocolate, making it easy to spread.
  10. Once the chocolate is melted, use a spatula to spread it evenly over the toffee. Be quick, as it sets fast!
  11. Finally, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the melted chocolate. Allow the toffee to cool completely before cutting or breaking it into pieces.

Keywords: One common mistake is not stirring the butter and brown sugar mixture continuously, which can lead to burning. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent hot spots that can scorch the mixture. If you prefer a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, feel free to double the cinnamon in the sugar mixture for an extra kick!
