This churro saltine toffee is sweet, crunchy, and loaded with cinnamon-sugar flavour. Made with crackers, buttery toffee, and white chocolate, it’s an easy and festive holiday treat perfect for gift-giving or snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve about 40 saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange saltines in a single layer to cover the pan.
Make Toffee Layer:
- In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened. Carefully pour over the crackers and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake:
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 5–6 minutes until bubbly. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle white chocolate chips over the top.
Melt & Spread:
- Let chips sit for 1–2 minutes to soften, then spread evenly with a spatula.
Add Cinnamon Sugar:
- Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the melted white chocolate.
Cool & Break:
- Let toffee cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until set (about 1 hour). Once firm, break into pieces and serve.
