Before I left east TN this past Sunday, my parents had a few friends over to play a card game called Five Crowns. They had just taught me the night before in preparation (it is like rummy but with five suits and a few trick cards that change with the number of cards in your hand) so I stuck around for one full round before hitting the road. I totally won, go newbie!
Of course what’s a party without food? One friend of theirs brought over a toffee that was made with a saltine cracker layer. I really liked how it made the toffee less hard and added a little extra saltiness. Naturally I had to find out how to make this in order to have a stash of it for myself. She told me it was from Food Network, but I could not find it on there (probably goes by a different name). However a quick Google search led me to Christy’s recipe on The Girl Who Ate Everything and I made these quick!
One year ago: Papaya Blueberry Almond Granola Bars
SALTINE CRACKER TOFFEE
Serves 10-12
Ingredients:
40 salted saltine crackers or enough to line your pan
1 cup unsalted butter*
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
*You can either use salted butter or salted saltines but not both. I used salted crackers and unsalted butter in this one.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Line saltine crackers in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
- In a small pot combine sugar and butter and bring to a boil. Once mixture is at a boil, continue boiling for 3 minutes. Mixture should be a deep caramel color. Immediately pour over saltines and spread to cover crackers completely.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes. It will get all bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let sit a couple of minutes to melt. Sometimes I melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 1 minute then spread it on. Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts if desired. Cool completely and break into pieces.

Looks easy and delicious. Did you know you can use doterra pure essential oils in candy and more?
A friend of mine cracked up laughing the other day when I mentioned saltine toffee. He thought I was being crazy and making things up. Im glad you are here to prove Im not a crazy woman ;)
Well, I cannot say that you are not crazy simply on the proof that these exist ;-)
Oh my goodness!! How addictive is this stuff?!? I made a version of this on my site too and it was gone in a flash. Yum!! Love the pecans on the top of yours.
Toffee is great!
I am so in love with this toffee! Someone brought it to a Christmas cookie swap a few years ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since! It’s seriously amazing.
I know! I want an unlimited supply.
I have been dying to try this – YUM!!
I’ve not heard nor seen this before, but it does sound exotic and exciting!:p
This is such a good idea. I already know i would eat my weight in it!
Wow thats different! I like the idea of a saltine, I bet the salt with the chocolate taste out of this world!!
This sweet and salty combo … with the pecans will have me licking the dish clean!!
Cleaaarly saltines are not just for crumbling into chicken noodle soup when one is sick.
Fab.
I have never heard of these before but I wonder why – what a delicious mix of flavours! Nice one :)
I’ve wanted to try this forever! It looks delicious!
I love saltine toffee! So easy and sooooo good.
I’ve seen this twice this week but without the nuts. I have all the ingredients and I’m taking it to a party tomorrow night. Can’t wait. If I make it at home I will eat it all and then I’ll feel guilty. :)
What a great idea with saltines! This looks delicious. I love the combination of sweet and salty, yum!
