So I made these chocolate saltine cracker toffee bars anyway, and holy cow, they are amazing. Like, make-sure-you’re-not-hungry-or-you’ll-eat-the-whole-pan AMAZING. I ate a lot of these. Too many. I took the rest to work to get my coworkers to eat them (who coincidentally also thought they were delicious), but I’m pretty sure I ate at least half a pan by myself. It took about 3 days, but still… I should probably work on my self control.
I never would have guessed that you could make a sweet treat with crackers, but it’s a pretty great (and foolproof) recipe! It only takes about 15 minutes, and they taste soooooooo good.
Saltine Cracker Toffee
The full printable recipe is at the bottom of this post, but here’s what you’ll need:
Brown Sugar Chocolate Chips Butter Saltine Crackers Aluminum Foil Cooking Spray
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and set out the saltine crackers on top. If you want the toffee to be thin, don’t overlap the crackers. If you overlap the crackers, like I did, they’ll be a little thicker and more “bar” like. Either way is perfectly delicious! So just have fun with it!
Is there anything more delicious than butter and sugar? I think not. If you have a small pot with a spout, this would be a great time to use it! These are my grandma’s glass pots from years and years and years ago.
After you melt and boil it (see the recipe at the bottom), pour the mixture over the saltine crackers. If you want, you can spread it out with a knife, but I found that it settled pretty evenly on it’s own once I baked it.
This is how it looked when it came out of the oven. See how that toffee just spread out evenly without any effort? Pretty convenient!
Next, spread the chocolate chips on top of the warm toffee. I wanted to speed up the process a bit, so I put it back in the oven for about a minute to completely melt those chocolate chips.
And then just spread out the chocolate evenly using a spatula.
Since Valentine’s Day is coming, my three year old and I decorated them with red, pink and white sprinkles and hearts.
Or you can top them with chopped pecans or even M&M’s. Mmmmm…
Put them in the freezer for half an hour to get them to set. I used a sharp knife to cut them into squares, but you can just break them with your fingers if you want to.
These will last up to a week in an air tight container (if you can stop yourself from eating them). My chocolate seemed to get spots all over it by the next day, as anything made with chocolate chips sometimes does, so just keep that mind if you plan to take them anywhere. Even with the spots, they still tasted amazing!
These chocolate saltine cracker toffee bars are incredibly addictive! They are so simple to make but they taste amazing!! If you haven’t tried them yet, YOU NEED TO!! Just make sure you have lots of people around to share them with.
