Ingredients

Scale

Cracker Base

  • 40 Saltine Crackers

Toffee Topping

  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

Chocolate 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 it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Arrange Crackers: Place the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they cover the entire surface neatly.
  4. Make Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the salted butter and brown sugar. Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue stirring and boiling for 5 minutes to achieve the proper toffee consistency.
  5. Pour Toffee over Crackers: Pour the hot butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the crackers, making sure all pieces are coated.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes to allow the toffee to set and caramelize around the crackers.
  7. Settle Crackers: Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for a minute or two until the crackers settle. Use a butter knife to gently push any crackers that are overlapping back into place while the mixture is still warm.
  8. Add White Chocolate: Immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let them sit for a few minutes to melt.
  9. Spread Chocolate: Once the white chocolate chips have melted, use a spatula or knife to spread the chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.
  10. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture over the melted white chocolate for a sweet and spicy finish.
  11. Cut and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool and harden completely, then cut or break it into pieces to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use salted butter to enhance the contrast between sweet and salty flavors.
  • Ensure the toffee mixture boils for the full 5 minutes to achieve the correct texture.
  • While the chocolate chips are melting, spread them gently to avoid breaking the cracker base.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute dairy-free butter and white chocolate chips.
