Churro Saltine Toffee is a delightful sweet and salty treat featuring a crispy saltine cracker base covered with a rich buttery brown sugar toffee, melted semi-sweet chocolate, and finished with a cinnamon sugar and sea salt sprinkle, delivering a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Saltine crackers – enough to cover a baking sheet in a single layer (about 40 crackers)

Toffee

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Sea salt, to taste (about 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Lay the saltine crackers in a single, even layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they cover the entire surface without overlapping.
  3. Make the Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Pour Toffee over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading gently if needed to cover all crackers.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the toffee mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee so they melt from the heat.
  7. Apply Cinnamon Sugar and Salt: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the melted chocolate chips. Then lightly sprinkle sea salt over the entire surface for a perfect sweet-salty balance.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature until it hardens. Once set, break it into pieces and enjoy your churro saltine toffee treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the toffee mixture comes to a full boil to achieve the right consistency.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon amount slightly according to taste.
  • Store the toffee pieces in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips based on preference.
