Description

This Saltine Toffee recipe combines the salty crunch of saltine crackers with rich caramel toffee, melted semisweet chocolate, and crunchy pecans for a perfectly sweet and salty treat. Easy to make and ideal for holiday gatherings or simple indulgence, this dessert features a buttery brown sugar toffee layer baked on a saltine cracker base, topped with smooth chocolate and toasted nuts.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 ounces saltine crackers

Toffee Layer

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar

Topping

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the toffee-coated crackers.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Line a rimmed baking sheet with saltine crackers in a single layer, ensuring full coverage without overlapping.
  3. Make Toffee: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup butter and 1 cup dark brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and allow it to boil for exactly 3 minutes to achieve the right caramel consistency.
  4. Pour Toffee: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading it carefully to coat all crackers completely.
  5. Bake Toffee: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, allowing the toffee to bubble and set around the crackers.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let sit for about 5 minutes until the chocolate softens.
  7. Spread Chocolate: Using a spatula, spread the softened chocolate evenly over the entire surface of the toffee-coated crackers.
  8. Add Pecans: Sprinkle ¾ cup chopped pecans evenly over the melted chocolate while still soft.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature for about 25 minutes until it hardens. Once set, break into pieces and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to contain any bubbling toffee and prevent spills in your oven.
  • Ensure the toffee mixture boils for the full 3 minutes to achieve proper caramelization and crunch.
  • Allow chocolate chips to soften fully before spreading for smooth coverage.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or omit nuts for nut-free variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
