Churro Saltine Toffee is a delightful fusion of sweet and crunchy flavors, combining the buttery richness of toffee with the salty crunch of saltine crackers, topped with melted chocolate and a cinnamon sugar sprinkle for a perfect treat reminiscent of churros.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 40 saltine crackers (enough to cover a standard baking sheet)

Toffee

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Spread the saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the entire baking sheet without overlapping.
  3. Prepare Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil and is smooth.
  4. Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading it gently with a spatula if needed to cover all crackers.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. The toffee should be bubbling and the crackers lightly caramelized.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee so they melt.
  7. Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the melted chocolate chips.
  8. Add Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the entire surface to enhance the flavors and provide the perfect sweet-salty balance.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely on the baking sheet at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets and the toffee hardens. Break into pieces and enjoy your Churro Saltine Toffee!

Notes

  • For easier removal, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • You can store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a variation, try using dark chocolate chips or adding chopped nuts on top before cooling.
  • Be sure to watch the toffee while baking closely to prevent burning.
