This Churro Saltine Toffee is a delightful twist on traditional toffee, layering crispy saltine crackers with a rich, buttery brown sugar caramel and topped with melted white chocolate and cinnamon sugar for a sweet and salty treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

For the Toffee Base

  • 40 Saltine Crackers
  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

For the Topping

  • 2 cups Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the toffee.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a 10 x 15 inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  4. Arrange Crackers: Place the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Make Caramel: In a saucepan, combine the salted butter and brown sugar. Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue stirring and boil for 5 minutes to reach the correct caramel consistency.
  6. Pour Caramel Over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading as necessary to cover all crackers uniformly.
  7. Bake Toffee: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes to set the caramel and allow it to soak into the crackers.
  8. Settle and Adjust Crackers: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it sit for a minute or two until the crackers settle. Push any overlapping crackers back into place carefully using a butter knife.
  9. Add White Chocolate: Sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the warm toffee covered crackers. Allow them to sit until they melt.
  10. Spread Chocolate: Once melted, spread the white chocolate evenly over the top of the toffee layer using a spatula or knife.
  11. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture over the melted white chocolate before it sets.
  12. Cut and Serve: After allowing the mixture to cool and set, cut or break into pieces and serve your delicious churro saltine toffee.

Notes

  • Use salted butter to balance the sweetness with a bit of saltiness.
  • Ensure to stir the caramel mixture continuously while boiling to avoid burning.
  • Let the white chocolate chips melt fully before spreading for best texture.
  • Store leftover toffee in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crisp.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter and white chocolate with vegan alternatives.
