Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers (around 40 crackers)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for topping) optional powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer, edges touching, across the entire surface.
Cooking
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt.
  3. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltines and use an offset spatula to quickly spread it, making sure all crackers get covered completely.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until the toffee is bubbling all over.
  5. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the hot toffee.
Cooling
  1. Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature (about 1 hour), then transfer to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set fully.
  2. Once set, break the toffee into irregular pieces and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Store your Churro Saltine Toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer freshness, refrigerate or freeze for up to three months. Let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
