(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:
- Spread a bag of oyster crackers evenly on a foil lined pan.
- Boil butter and brown sugar together and then add some cinnamon and vanilla.
- Pour mixture immediately on top of the crackers and stir until the crackers are evenly coated.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crackers are baking combine cinnamon, sugar and salt.
- When the crackers are done remove the pan and gently give them a stir and then sprinkle immediately with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Let the crackers cool and then break into pieces. Enjoy!
Sweet & Salty Churro Toffee Snack Mix
Ingredients
- 5 cups Oyster Crackers (1 9-oz pkg.)
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Line a baking sheet with a silpat liner or foil. Spread the crackers evenly on the baking sheet and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan combine the butter and brown sugar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and vanilla. Pour mixture immediately on top of the crackers. Using a rubber spatula, stir and coat the crackers evenly with the mixture.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crackers are baking combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- When the crackers are done remove the pan and gently give them a stir to recoat them with the sugar mixture. Sprinkle immediately with the salty cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.
- 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.

Definitely trying!
Stopping at the store on my way home from work so I can make this tonight!! YUM!
Do not!!!!! I repeat do not substitute club minis for oyster crackers!!!! …Unless you want to eat the entire batch in one sitting before it even cools!!!!! Holy yummm!!!!
Hey Sara, thanks for the warning but now I’m going to have to try it!
These are delicious!
★★★★★
Thanks! So happy you loved them!
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.
These came out SO great!!! Everyone loved them. They are so addicting. The sweet and salt together…AMAZING! Thank you!!

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
Hi Holly! So glad this turned out using the alphabet crackers. Thanks for letting me know. Happy Holidays!
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
Nancy
Okay I have to try this. Should I use fine or coarse kosher salt?
I use course, but either work will work just fine. You will love this!
I added the required salt and it tasted way to Salty!
★★★
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.
This looks so good! I love the idea of using churro topping on other snacks!
Hi Suzanne! This stuff is delicious! I hope you have a chance to make it.
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Hey Vanessa! It should keep for several days in a sealed container, but it’s only lasted a couple days around my house.
Very good and easy to make! Would make it again but with much less salt.

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!

Hi Lyn! I am laughing out loud after reading your comment. You literally just made my day, and thanks to you I am now going to have to make a batch of these with chocolate chips . . . dang you! Seriously though, I’m so happy your family loved these. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it.
Can you freeze these. I need to put it out of sight so I don’t eat the entire sheet myself.
Hi Rita! I totally get that you could eat the entire pan!! I haven’t ever tried freezing this so I’m honestly not sure how it would freeze. You could certainly try it, maybe even freeze a small portion of it and see how it does.
Hi! Looking forward to making this! Did you use unsalted butter or salted butter? Thank you!
Hi Meghan! I always use salted butter when baking and cooking, but use whatever you prefer.
Just found my teacher gifts!!! Can’t wait to try these!!!!!
This will make the perfect teacher gift! They’re going to love it!
Can these be made 2; weeks in advance and deal a mealed until ready to use?
