Ingredients

Scale

Spice Mix

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

Base

  • 40 Saltine Crackers

Toffee

  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

Topping

  • 2 cups Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for toffee baking.
  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 the sugar and cinnamon thoroughly. Set aside for sprinkling later.
  4. Arrange Crackers: Lay out the 40 saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Make Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the salted butter and brown sugar. Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, maintain a continuous stir and boil for 5 minutes to develop the toffee flavor and consistency.
  6. Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot toffee evenly over the saltines, spreading it with a spatula to cover all crackers.
  7. Bake Toffee: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes to set the toffee and allow flavors to meld.
  8. Adjust Crackers: Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. The crackers may shift during baking, so use a butter knife to gently push any overlapping crackers back into place.
  9. Add White Chocolate: Sprinkle the 2 cups of white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee-covered crackers and let them sit for a few minutes until the chocolate melts.
  10. Spread Chocolate: Once melted, use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the white chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.
  11. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the melted white chocolate for a sweet, spiced finish.
  12. Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely, then cut or break into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use salted butter to complement the saltiness of the crackers for balanced flavor.
  • Be sure to stir continuously when boiling the toffee to avoid burning.
  • Line the baking sheet well with foil for easy cleanup.
  • If your white chocolate chips don’t melt easily, you can briefly microwave the tray in 10-second increments to soften them before spreading.
  • This toffee can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt over the top before the chocolate sets.
