Churro Saltine Toffee

A delightful and easy-to-make treat that combines the salty crunch of saltine crackers with the sweet, cinnamon-spiced flavor of churros.
Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the saltine crackers. Spread it quickly with a heatproof spatula to cover the crackers as much as possible.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and slightly golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for a minute to melt, then spread the melted chocolate evenly with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the melted chocolate (this gives it a slight crunch and churro-like texture).
  • Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, then transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to fully set.
  • Once hardened, break the toffee into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
