Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 40 Saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)

Toffee Layer

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering as much of the surface as possible without overlapping.
  3. Make Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the packed brown sugar and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Keep boiling and stirring for about 3 minutes to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture thickens.
  4. Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading it slightly if needed to cover all crackers.
  5. Bake the Toffee: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. You’ll see the toffee bubbling and thickening.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee so they begin to melt.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the melted chocolate chips.
  8. Finish With Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the entire surface to enhance the sweet and savory contrast.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator until set. Once hardened, break into pieces and enjoy your churro-inspired saltine toffee!

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the toffee.
  • Ensure the toffee mixture reaches a rolling boil to achieve the proper texture—you can use a candy thermometer and cook until about 235°F (soft ball stage) if desired.
  • You can store leftover toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, try using bittersweet chocolate chips or a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
  • Be cautious pouring hot toffee over the crackers to avoid burns.
