Description
Churro Saltine Toffee is a sweet and crunchy treat that combines the classic flavors of churros with the crunch of saltine crackers, topped with a creamy layer of chocolate and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 48 saltine crackers (1 1/2 sleeves)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cubed
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ – 2 cups white chocolate
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ Tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large jelly roll pan (15×10) with parchment paper or foil (spray foil with non-stick spray).
- Line the bottom of the pan evenly with 48 saltine crackers. You may need to break a few on the sides to fill in the gaps.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium pot, combine 2 sticks butter and 1 cup brown sugar over medium-low heat. Stirring occasionally, bring to a rolling boil and cook for 3 minutes, or until bubbling and amber in color. Remove pan from heat and pour evenly over saltine crackers. Spread brown sugar mixture quickly with a spatula.
- Bake for 8 minutes (caramel should be bubbling). Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate evenly over the top; let sit until chocolate chips are shiny (you can turn off the oven and place inside for 30-60 seconds to speed up, but don’t leave in long or it will burn).
- Remove and let sit for a minute. Once the chips are soft, spread evenly with a spatula. Alternatively, pour melted chocolate over the top. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top and place in the freezer for 15 minutes, or until hardened.
- Let sit for 15 minutes on the counter. Flip over onto a cutting board and remove the foil. Break into pieces.
Notes
- This recipe can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
- For added flavor, you can use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- Make sure not to overbake the toffee as it can burn quickly.
