Tonight, after dinner…and more quite possibly after the kidlets go to bed…we are having Toffee Crackers for dessert! This is my super easy recipe for a really yummy chocolatey dessert that looks as if you spent a lot of time in your kitchen making it. Especially when you mention the word “toffee”. Here is what you need:

Total time
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 package saltine crackers
- 2 sticks butter, unsalted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 12 oz. package of chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet chocolate)
Instructions
- Line a jelly roll pan with foil and then line it with all the saltine crackers.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter.
- Add the brown sugar and stir constantly, allowing the mixture to boil for 3 minutes.
- Pour mixture over crackers.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Spread melted chips evenly over crackers.
- Refrigerate until set.
- Peel foil away and break apart into various sizes.
All your ingredients, only four, I know…it’s soooo easy!
Line a jelly roll pan (a cookie sheet with edges) with foil…cover it well!!! Then line with your saltine crackers.
The butter and brown sugar mixture should boil for 3 minutes while continuously stirring. It should look like this…all frothy and foamy when ready.
Pour the boiling mixture directly onto your crackers all laid out so nicely. Don’t worry, the foam will disappear like magic!
Spread it all around, covering every cracker…like this! Now, place this in your oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
Remove the jelly roll pan from the oven and then sprinkle the entire package of chocolate chips on top…like this! Wait a few minutes to get them all melty. Now, take the back of your spoon and spread the melted chocolate chips around making everything nice and smooth.
Now the hard part, find a spot in your fridge or freezer for the jelly roll pan. If you chose fridge, let cool for about four hours or so. If you chose freezer, cool for about 20-30 minutes. The chocolate should be nice and hard when cooled and the toffee crackers should break nicely into pieces.
Dish it up and share with the ones you love….Mmmm…an easy dessert after dinner tonight!
I had this treat at christmas time last year, I thought, “really, its on a saltine, this can’t be that good.” Boy was I wrong! thanks for sharing the recipe.
This also works great during the Jewish holiday of Passover using Matzah instead of Saltines!!
I just found out about your blog when I was getting a massage at your office this morning. I look forward to following you and am so excited that you have this recipe posted. I made this for a family party a few years ago and it was a huge hit. I couldn’t find the recipe so have not made it since. So easy-and SO GOOD!!
I have made these before and Love, Love, Love them! So easy to make and a huge hit!
My friend does these and then puts chunky salt on top.
I make this but use graham crackers. I am going to try the saltine crackers next time, looks really good!
