Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 40 saltine crackers (enough to line a baking sheet)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven – Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly grease it.
- Arrange the crackers – Lay saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the toffee – In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour & bake – Pour the hot toffee evenly over the crackers and spread with a spatula. Bake for 5 minutes, until bubbly.
- Add white chocolate – Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle white chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let sit for 2 minutes, then spread evenly as it melts.
- Make the churro topping – In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the melted chocolate.
- Chill & break – Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour until firm. Break into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crunch, swap saltines for Ritz crackers or graham crackers.
- Add a drizzle of caramel or melted dark chocolate for extra richness!
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
