Saltine Toffee
Saltine Toffee is an easy holiday treat made with saltine crackers, brown sugar, butter, chocolate, and nuts! It comes together in less than 15 minutes and is the perfect addition to a Christmas cookie tray.
While I thoroughly enjoy making new recipes for the holidays to share on the blog, there's nothing like making my tried and true classics. The ones I make every year, that remind me of home. This Saltine Toffee is one of those recipes that it just doesn't feel like Christmas without.

How to Make Saltine Toffee
Line a large baking sheet with the saltine crackers. You can line them up neatly or just lay them all out on the baking sheet. I always line mine with foil first to make cleanup easier.
Next, melt the butter and brown sugar in a small pan over medium heat. Whisk well to combine and then boil for about 3 minutes. Pour the mixture over the saltine crackers and then bake.
Once baked, sprinkle the top with chocolate chips, wait a few minutes until they melt, and then spread it out. Finally, top with some chopped nuts. I like to use walnuts or pecans but almonds are a great choice, too!

Glad you are back home. This toffee is one of my favorites...Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
My roommate in college used to make this! It's so easy and so delicious! No one ever believes its just saltines 🙂 Happy to hear you're spending the holidays at home- I hope you have a very merry Christmas!
I just made these using Keebler Club Crackers. They took very little time to make and are delicious!
i love toffee... more than the average girl!
this looks delicious- did you have a hard time making sure it didnt crumble?
Claire - I set them out for about 15 minutes after they were in the fridge so they wouldn't crumble as much. Even if they do crumble, they are just as delicious and just look a little more "rustic" 🙂
