Description

Saltine Cracker Toffee is a sweet and crunchy dessert featuring a crispy saltine cracker base topped with a rich caramel toffee layer, melted semi-sweet chocolate, and chopped pecans. This easy oven-baked treat combines buttery caramel with the salty crunch of crackers and decadent chocolate for a perfect balance of flavors and textures, ideal for gifting or sharing at any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 40-45 Saltine crackers

Caramel Toffee

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Firmly packed light brown sugar

Topping

  • 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces Pecans, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for baking the toffee.
  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Line a 13×9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Arrange Crackers: Neatly arrange the Saltine crackers on the prepared pan, breaking a few in half if needed to fill the entire surface.
  4. Make Caramel: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar. Stir gently until melted and smooth.
  5. Cook Caramel: Once the mixture starts to bubble, stop stirring and let it cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to develop the toffee flavor.
  6. Pour Caramel Over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot caramel over the crackers. If crackers float, use a heat-proof spatula to gently smooth the caramel and reposition crackers with a fork if necessary.
  7. Bake Caramel Layer: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes until the caramel bubbles over the crackers.
  8. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel layer. Return to oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
  9. Smooth Chocolate: Take the toffee out of the oven and use a spatula to gently spread and smooth the melted chocolate into an even coating over the cracker base.
  10. Add Pecans: Sprinkle the finely chopped pecans evenly over the melted chocolate while still warm.
  11. Cool and Chill: Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes until set.
  12. Cut and Serve: Once chilled, lift the toffee out using the foil and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the toffee into about 30 pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the caramel mixture bubbles but does not burn by carefully monitoring the heat during cooking.
  • Use a heat-proof spatula and fork to keep the crackers evenly covered and submerged in the caramel to avoid floating.
  • For easier cleanup, allow the aluminum foil to extend beyond the edges for lifting the toffee out of the pan after chilling.
  • Store the toffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for best freshness.
  • The recipe can be doubled easily using a larger pan or multiple baking sheets.
