Sweet & Salty Churro Toffee Snack Mix

Yum

December 2, 2020 by Jodi + 33 Comments

This Sweet & Salty Churro Toffee Snack Mix is insanely delicious and highly addictive. You won’t be able to stop at just one handful.

♡THE BEST OF 12 DAYS OF SUGAR – DAY 2♡

This is a recipe I posted back in 2017 and it continues to be one of my favorite treats, and not just for the holidays. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

(Original post . . . )

I’ve been dying to share this recipe for Sweet & Salty Churro Toffee Snack Mix with you.

It’s absolutely evil and I should not be left in a room alone with it. No one should!

It’s so simple to make and makes a great neighbor gift ever. Fill a cellophane bag with some of this for your neighbors and you may find them at your doorstep groveling for more. You could probably even get them to shovel your driveway, do your laundry, clean your bathrooms, etc. in exchange for more of this mix.Just look at that yumminess. It’s Sweet, salty, buttery, cinnamony. . . .it’s utter perfection.

Are you drooling?

You should be.This is such a simple treat to make. It’s basically foolproof, just follow the instructions.

If you do make this (and you REALLY should!), you’re probably going to love me and hate me, but that’s ok, I’ll completely understand.

Now go make this, but let me first suggest one more thing, buy more than one bag of oyster crackers, trust me you’ll be glad you did. 

How to make sweet & salty churro toffee snack mix:

  1. Spread a bag of oyster crackers evenly on a foil lined pan.
  2. Boil butter and brown sugar together and then add some cinnamon and vanilla.
  3. Pour mixture immediately on top of the crackers and stir until the crackers are evenly coated.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. While the crackers are baking combine cinnamon, sugar and salt.
  6. When the crackers are done remove the pan and gently give them a stir and then sprinkle immediately with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Let the crackers cool and then break into pieces. Enjoy!

Pour mixture immediately on top of the crackers. Using a rubber spatula, stir and coat the crackers evenly with the mixture.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. While the crackers are baking combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

  7. Let the crackers cool and then break into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • Make sure you use the name brand oyster crackers (Nabisco Premium Oyster Crackers) and not the generic store brand.  The store brands are much smaller in size, and I don’t think work as well as the Nabisco brand.

    Jodi, this is so unbelievably delicious. When I did my shopping this morning, I picked up a package of crackers and had everything else. I whipped it up so quickly and cannot keep my hands out of it. Oh my it is so delicious. I am packaging up a bag for my girlfriend who I am meeting tonight for a holiday vendor fair in town. An early Christmas present to her! I love this so much.

    I did have a couple of tablespoons of the buttery brown sugar mixture left over in the pan after I removed all the crackers. I assume it just kind of fell off when the crackers were breaking up, etc. Did this happen to you, too? No worries, but wanted to ask. Thank you for this gem!

      I LOVE that you’ve already made this Teresa, you are my favorite! I warned you it’s addictive. I literally couldn’t keep my hands out of it the first time I had it (which was just a couple weeks ago, my friend brought it to a party). When I made it I the very next day, I again couldn’t stop eating it. My boys are addicted too! Your girlfriend is one lucky friend! Yeah, don’t worry about the sugar mixture on the pan, some does fall off. . . I just ate some of it with a spoon (LOL!)

      My husband and I made these tonight. We made three batches. They are so good. I’m making them for our neighbors and my husband’s family.

      They are really easy to make in no time. Thanks for posting the recipe.

    Is it better to use foil or parchment paper for these? I am making them today and want to make sure I do it right! Can’t wait to try them.

      It doesn’t matter, either one will work fine. I think I like using a silpat liner better than foil, but they both work great.

    Jodi I live up in Canada and we do not have the oyster crackers here. I substituted them for some little alphabet crackers. It turned out great! Have a good day, Holly

      Holly, I am also Canadian, what kind of crackers did you use? Would love to try these but I’m not certain I have ever seen alphabet crackers in grocery stores around here.

      Thanks

          Sorry you thought this was too salty Kelly. I’ve made this multiple times and always gets rave reviews. I’ve also had many friends make this, love it and haven’t complained about it being too salty. Sorry it didn’t work for you.

      Hey Vanessa! It should keep for several days in a sealed container, but it’s only lasted a couple days around my house.

    These are AWESOME!! We are currently standing in the kitchen eating them straight from the sheet pan
    Luckily I bought 2 bags of oyster crackers so it looks like round two will be up sooner than expected!!
    Thinking about adding a little heat to them (Sriracha dry seasoning maybe?) Ever try something like that?

      Hi Mary! So happy to hear you loved these. I just laughed when I read your comment. I. haven’t tried them with a little heat, so if you try it, I’d love to hear how they turn out. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

    So I’m not going to tell you I ate most of a batch waiting for my boys to come home and watch the Super Bowl, nor am I going to tell you we added chocolate chips to the second batch when I sprinkled with the cinnamon sugar salt mixture, but I will tell you I think we will end up making a third batch before the night is over… it’s definitely a hit here!
