An irresistibly easy and festive Christmas treat featuring a buttery toffee layer over crisp saltine crackers, topped with melted chocolate and your favorite festive decorations. Perfect for holiday gatherings!
Equipment
- Half-sheet baking pan
- Aluminum Foil
- Saucepan
- Whisk
Ingredients
Crackers & Toffee Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 48 saltine crackers approximately 2 sleeves, salted side up
Topping & Decoration
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sprinkles optional, for festive decoration
- chopped almonds or walnuts optional, for festive decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a half-sheet baking pan with aluminum foil and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Lay out the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared pan, with their salted side facing up. Make sure they are touching each other to form a solid base.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture reaches a full, rolling boil (it should keep bubbling even when stirred). Once boiling, stop stirring and let it continue to boil gently for exactly 3 minutes. It's important to keep the heat low enough to maintain a constant, gentle boil for the best texture.
- Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture all over the arranged saltine crackers. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread it if necessary, ensuring all crackers are covered.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for just 5 minutes.
- Immediately remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let them sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes to soften from the residual heat.
- Gently spread the melted chocolate chips into a smooth layer over the toffee. Now's your chance to get creative! Sprinkle with festive sprinkles, chopped nuts, or any other optional toppings for a beautiful finish.
- Allow the candy to cool completely until it's firm. You can pop it in the refrigerator for a quicker set. Once fully hardened, simply break or cut the large sheet into delicious, bite-sized pieces. Enjoy your irresistibly easy Christmas treat!
