Churro Saltine Toffee is a delightful treat combining sweet and salty flavors with a crispy texture. Saltine crackers are topped with a rich butter and brown sugar toffee, baked to perfection, then covered with melted white chocolate and dusted with a cinnamon sugar mix, creating a crunchy, cinnamon-infused dessert snack inspired by churros.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

For the Toffee Base

  • 40 Saltine Crackers
  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the toffee-topped saltine crackers.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it lightly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Make Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set this aside for garnish later.
  4. Arrange Crackers: Place 40 saltine crackers in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, covering the surface evenly.
  5. Cook Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup salted butter and 1 cup brown sugar. Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, continue stirring and cooking for an additional 5 minutes to achieve the right toffee consistency.
  6. Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the arranged crackers, spreading it so all crackers are coated.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, allowing the toffee to bubble and set.
  8. Settle and Adjust Crackers: Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for a minute or two until the crackers settle. Use a butter knife to gently push any overlapped crackers back into place to ensure even coverage.
  9. Add White Chocolate: Sprinkle 2 cups of Ghirardelli white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let the chips sit until they melt.
  10. Spread Chocolate: Once melted, spread the white chocolate evenly over the toffee-coated crackers using a spatula.
  11. Finish with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the melted white chocolate to add a churro-inspired flavor.
  12. Cut and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool and set completely before cutting or breaking it into pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Use salted butter to enhance the sweet and salty flavor balance.
  • Be careful when pouring hot toffee mixture over the crackers to avoid burns.
  • For easier cutting, chill the toffee briefly after spreading the chocolate and cinnamon sugar.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • This recipe can be doubled or halved depending on crowd size.
