On the 4th Day of Sugar my true love gave to me . . . . Saltine Toffee – a.k.a. Christmas Crack
I’m just going to be upfront and honest about this saltine toffee . . .it’s highly addictive. There is a reason it’s called Christmas Crack, you really can’t stop eating it. Not only is it ridiculously good, but it’s incredibly easy to make. If you haven’t seen or heard of this, then you’ve been living under a rock. It’s all over the internet and I bet you could probably find it on one of your cookbooks.
It’s buttery, salty, crispy, sweet, chewy, chocolaty, aaaand it’s really naughty.
Another great and easy neighbor gift to give out.
Saltine Toffee (a.k.a., Christmas Crack) - {12 Days of Sugar - Day 4}
Ingredients
- 45 saltine crackers (give or take a few)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips (I used half semi-sweet, half milk chocolate)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Line a jelly roll pan lined with foil, spray lightly with nonstick spray. Line the saltine crackers side by side until the entire pan is filled (You'll have to break some in half to fit)
-
In a saucepan, melt butter and sugar together. Bring to boil and cook for 4 minutes.
-
Pour the caramel evenly over the saltines then place in oven to bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and iImmediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Put back in the oven for 1 minute then carefully spread chocolate chips evenly across the top.

Let cool completely. (I popped mine in the fridge for about an hour.) Once cool, break into. Store in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes
We liked this best cold, so I kept mine stored in the refrigerator, but do what ever you prefer.
I love this recipe. I have a different, but mostly similar version, that I make around the holiday and everyone loves it. In fact, I made 3 batches this week to take to a cookie swap tonight! We have to make 6 dozen cookies and we all swap, it’s fun. PS, thanks for the link on original Lion House cookbook. I ordered it on Amazon and I just love working my my way through reading it. Happy holidays.
Teresa, great idea to take this to a cookie swap. I love how quick and easy it is. I’m glad you were able to get the cookbook. It’s truly one of my favorites . . .simple and delicious recipes in it. Happy holidays to you too!
Well, you know how I feel already, but I just thought I would again say this recipe was a hit! I made it (amongst others) for neighbor gifts! Love baking!
