Ingredients:
40 salted saltine crackers
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup brown sugar
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Prepare the Crackers: Place the saltine crackers in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Make the Caramel: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let it boil for about 3 minutes, until it reaches a deep caramel color.
Pour the Caramel: Pour the caramel mixture over the saltine crackers, spreading it evenly to cover all the crackers.
Bake: Bake the caramel-covered crackers in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly.
Add the Chocolate: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the top. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to melt, then spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top.
Cool and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to help set the white chocolate. Once set, break the toffee into pieces and serve.
Serving Tips:
Presentation: Arrange the broken pieces of Saltine Toffee on a decorative plate or in a festive tin for a beautiful presentation.
Pairing: Serve with a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or a glass of milk for a delightful snack or dessert.
Portion Control: Since Saltine Toffee is rich and sweet, consider portioning it into smaller pieces to make it easier to enjoy without overindulging.
Gift Idea: Package the toffee in cellophane bags tied with a ribbon for a thoughtful homemade gift during holidays or special occasions.
Storage Tips:
Airtight Container: Store the Saltine Toffee in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crunchy.
Cool and Dry Place: Keep the container in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Avoid exposure to heat or humidity, which can cause the toffee to become sticky.
Refrigeration: If you live in a warmer climate or want to extend the shelf life, you can store the toffee in the refrigerator. Be sure to use an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze Saltine Toffee. Place the pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. To serve, let the toffee thaw at room temperature for a few minutes.
