Saltine Cracker Candy
Description
This Saltine Cracker Candy uses saltine crackers arranged in a single layer as the base for a crackly toffee topping. The toffee is created by boiling brown sugar and butter, then poured evenly over the crackers before baking for a few minutes until bubbly. Once baked, the toffee coating hardens between the crackers, offering a crunchy and sweet texture with a touch of saltiness from the saltines.
After cooling slightly, melted milk chocolate mixed with vegetable oil is spread over the toffee layer, creating a smooth chocolate topping. Sprinkles or nonpareils add a festive finish and a slight extra crunch. The result is a sweet and salty confection with contrasting textures and indulgent buttery flavor.
This candy can be cut into pieces and cooled completely before serving. It’s a straightforward recipe that requires no special equipment and can be prepared quickly for an enjoyable homemade sweet snack or gift option.
Ingredients
- 26 saltine crackers about 3/4 sleeve
- 1 cup butter salted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- Cake sprinkles or nonpareils, festive
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with tin foil and grease with nonstick baking spray.
- Lay the saltine crackers side-by-side on the jelly roll pan. You may have to break some in half on the last row so they all fit.
- In a medium saucepan, add in the butter and brown sugar. Place over medium heat and stir as the butter melts. Continue to stir until the butter is incorporated and let the mixture come up to a boil. Once boiling, DO NOT STIR. Boil for 1 minute.
- Remove the toffee from the heat and pour it evenly over the crackers. If the crackers move, move them back into place with a rubber spatula.
- Use the spatula to spread the toffee mixture over all of the crackers so there are no bare spots.
- Place into the preheated oven for 5 minutes. The toffee will be bubbly when you pull it out of the oven.
- Let the toffee cool for 3 minutes.
- While the toffee is cooling, add the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals and stir after each interval until the chocolate chips are completely melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate on the cracker candy and spread it out evenly and to the edges with an angled spatula.
- Sprinkle the festive sprinkles on top of the chocolate while it’s still wet and let it set up, about 2 to 3 hours.
- Chop the chocolate into triangles or squares and store in an airtight container.
