Description

Churro Saltine Toffee is an irresistibly addictive sweet and salty treat combining crunchy saltine crackers, a rich buttery brown sugar toffee layer, and creamy melted white chocolate, finished with a cinnamon sugar sprinkle for that classic churro flavor twist.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

For the Toffee Base

  • 40 Saltine Crackers (approximately one sleeve)
  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

For the Topping

  • 2 cups Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the toffee.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon thoroughly; set this aside for sprinkling later.
  4. Arrange Crackers: Lay out the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire surface evenly.
  5. Make Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the salted butter and brown sugar. Stir frequently over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
  6. Boil Toffee: Continue stirring the mixture for 5 minutes after it reaches a boil to thicken and develop the toffee consistency.
  7. Pour Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading with a spatula to cover all crackers.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes to allow the toffee to set and meld with the crackers.
  9. Let Crackers Settle: Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to sit for a minute or two until the crackers settle and the toffee thickens slightly.
  10. Adjust Crackers: Use a butter knife to gently push any crackers that have overlapped back into place for even layering.
  11. Add White Chocolate: Immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee-coated crackers.
  12. Melt Chocolate: Let the white chocolate chips sit for several minutes until melted, then spread them evenly over the surface with a spatula.
  13. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Finally, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the melted white chocolate.
  14. Cut and Serve: Once fully set, cut or break the toffee into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Be careful when pouring the hot toffee mixture over crackers to avoid burns.
  • Line the baking sheet well with foil for easy cleanup.
  • This recipe sets quickly, so work efficiently when spreading the toffee and melted chocolate.
  • Store leftover toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For best results use high-quality white chocolate chips like Ghirardelli for smoother melting and rich flavor.
