This Christmas Saltine Cracker toffee recipe is one of the BEST dessert’s I’ve ever had! It really is the ultimate easy holiday treat, with buttery toffee, a layer of chocolate, and festive sprinkles. It takes just a handful of ingredients to make, and this saltine cracker toffee is SO good you’ll want to share it with everyone!
Why I Love Saltine Cracker Toffee SO much!
If there’s one Christmas treat I can’t stop raving about, it’s this Christmas Saltine Cracker toffee! That buttery toffee, crunchy saltine crackers, and smooth chocolate are SO good together. I love that sweet-and-salty crunch, and the festive sprinkles make it extra fun for the holidays!
I’ve tried multiple variations, and this saltine cracker toffee is my absolute favorite. I loved it so much that I even included it in my cookbook, Celebrating Every Day! During my first meeting with the editor at HarperCollins, this was one of the first recipes I insisted we include. I just knew it had to be in there!
This is such a fun dessert to have on your Christmas dessert spread, especially when you want something sweet to share with friends or add to your holiday treat boxes. And if you’re planning your Christmas treat lineup, my Christmas Pretzel Hugs are another chocolatey favorite to add to the list!
How to Make Christmas Saltine Cracker Toffee
Saltine Cracker Toffee
Equipment
- large baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 1/2-2 sleeves of saltine crackers
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 11.5 oz package chocolate chips
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Add saltine crackers into a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Make sure they are touching each other. We used about 1 1/2 sleeves of saltine crackers (48 crackers), six rows wide and eight rows long.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar. Stirring consistently, bring the mixture to a soft boil until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Distribute the mixture evenly over the crackers, then spread it with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with all of the chocolate chips. Let the chocolate chips sit for a few minutes until melty, and then evenly spread them into a thin layer. If the chocolate chips are still not melted, please make sure to place them in the oven for an additional 30 seconds to soften. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate chips, as they will seize up and harden, making them impossible to spread.
- Evenly sprinkle with your favorite Christmas sprinkles.
- Cool for a few hours to overnight in the fridge. Peel off the parchment paper from the back of the Christmas crack and break apart with your hands or cut with a knife. I prefer to keep the Christmas Crack refrigerated before serving, but this is totally optional.
