Saltine Cracker Toffee Christmas Crack

All you need is four basic pantry ingredients to make saltine cracker toffee plus some toppings if you want to get fancy and decorate them. If you have been to a holiday cookie exchange these are the cracker desserts everyone goes for 1st and loves.

Friends and family will love this Saltine Toffee Cracker Candy!

Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Brown Sugar
  • Saltine Crackers
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Optional toppings - nuts, broken pretzel pieces, sprinkles, Oreo cookie crumble, broken up candy bars, shredded coconut, crushed up candy canes, M&Ms, or sea salt.

Chocolate - We use semi-sweet chocolate chips but you can use white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or any flavor that melts nicely. Some chocolate chips have an additive added to them to hold their shape. If your chocolate doesn't melt smoothly you may want to try chocolate bar pieces.

Saltine Crackers - We like to use salted saltines so they help cut the sweetness from the toffee and chocolate. If you use unsalted crackers you may want to sprinkle a bit of salt over the toffee.

Butter - We use unsalted butter but you can definitely use salted butter or even vegan butter.

How to make Saltine Cracker Toffee

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Step 1 - Line a jelly roll baking sheet with aluminum foil so it sticks up on the sides to catch any extra toffee. I like to spray the foil with non-stick spray to make it easier to remove the saltine cracker toffee.

Step 2 - Line cookie sheet with saltine crackers in a single layer.

Step 3 - In a small saucepan melt the butter and brown sugar over medium high heat. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat to medium heat and allow to boil for 5 minutes. Make sure to set a timer so you don't burn the sugar.

Stir occasionally as the sugar and butter boil.

Step 4 - Quickly pour the sugar butter toffee mixture over the saltine crackers and spread it out completely.

Step 5 - make sure sugar butter mixture is evenly spread out across all of the crackers. You may  have to scoop it from the edges to fill in blank areas.

Bake for 5 minutes in preheated oven.

Step 6 - Spread chocolate chips evenly over the top of the saltines. Make sure the toffee layer is still warm when you spread the chocolate. This will help prevent the layers from separating.

Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes until the chocolate starts to look shiny and is soft enough to easily spread.

Spread over the crackers as evenly as possible. If the chocolate chips do not melt enough you can stick the pan in the oven for a minute or so to melt the chocolate chips.

Step 7 - If you run out of chocolate just drop a few chocolate chips in the areas you need more coverage. This will help make sure all of the crackers are evenly covered.

Top with any toppings you love including sprinkles, nut pieces, pretzel pieces, cookie crumbs, or really anything.

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 2hours to harden.

Step 8 - remove from the refrigerator and peel the foil away. Break into pieces and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

No candy thermometer is required for this recipe.

This recipe can also be made on Ritz crackers or even graham crackers.

You can customize this Saltine Cracker Candy by adding different toppings in rows on the chocolate. Break them up and guests can enjoy their favorite ones.

If you have counters that are not a fan of heat make sure you put a protective barrier down like a trivet. The pan will be hot and you do not want to set it right on your countertop.

How to store Christmas Crack

Store your Christmas Crack toffee cracker candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Separate layers with parchment paper to make it easier to get one or two pieces out.
