Are you making anything sweet for your “sweetie” this Valentine’s Day? Here’s a treat that is sure to please. (That sounded like a commercial!)
Cracker Toffee! I know, it sounds weird, but it’s OHHH sooo good!!!
My husband, who is not a huge candy person, devoured them! (I need to figure out how to make these sugar-free and FAT free…) After the big pieces were gone, the kids where still begging for the left over crumbs.
I adapted this recipe from Make Life Delicious. She used saltines, but I used buttery crackers (Town House), and they turned out de-lish!!!
Cracker Toffee
40 crackers (saltines or buttery crackers, like Town House)
1 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans/walnuts, if desired
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Line cookie sheet with crackers in single layer.
In a saucepan combine the sugar and the butter. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Immediately pour over saltines and spread t cover crackers completely.
Bake at 400 degrees for 4-5 minutes, or until toffee is bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let sit for 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts, if desired. Cool completely and break into pieces.

These taste like crackers on steroids, or crack, or somethin’. In fact you can’t even tell there are crackers in it! All you can taste is the buttery, crunchy toffee.
I’m pretty sure that these toffee bits are going to meet their fate on top of some ice cream… Fo’ Sho…
Absolute bliss… MMMMM…
Go make up a batch of these delights, your sweetie will love you! I know mine did! 😀
Enjoy!

Wowo looks great! Love the pictures 🙂
That looks amazing! I want some. Perhaps I should make this after I do my next batch of honeycomb.
looks yummy!!!!!!
I’ve made these before and they are sinfully good. You would never know they are made with a cracker as the base! Yummo…… not to mention super quick and easy and who doesn’t love that.
I have a tray of them made right now – it’s definitely one of my go to recipes, admittedly I make them a bit too often. They are super easy, but hide them away, freeze them, or make sure you are taking them to a party because they are so freakin’ good you’ll eat too many!
Crack – er!
These look amazing! Cannot wait to try them! Thansk for sharing!

Someone made these for our family for Christmas and I have been looking for a recipe since they were gone in just a few days! Oh m’gosh, they are delicious! Thanks for sharing! They’re on my ‘list’ for sure!
I made some of these this year. So good!
I made something similar to this a couple years ago and couldn’t believe how amazing it was. I used Saltine crackers. So easy and delicious!
well I know it may sound weird, but it looks really good!
We just had a parent give these to our teachers for teacher appreciation. OH MY…SO DELICIOUS!
I made them this afternoon, but they are really gooey on the bottom even though the chocolate hardened in the frig. Too much syrup mixture for the amount of crackers?? or is this what others have experienced?
Hmmm… Sylvia, did you let the mixture boil for 3 minutes, and after pouring it on the crackers did you let it bake for 4-5 minutes until bubbly? I’m sorry it didn’t set up for you… That’s a bummer! 😦 I bet gooey toffee still tastes pretty good though. 😀
OKAY! YUM! I’m going to have to give this a try! My kids would think I was the coolest mom! 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up to Sassy Sites for our Friday ffa party! Have a fabulous weekend!
XOXO!

This looks so good!
Stephanie,
Oh, I’m so glad you posted this! I learned how to make this years ago but forgot I had the recipe until just now. This would be so great for Valentines Day. Easy to make and not expensive!!! Just what I need right now! Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!!

I’m mostly avoiding sweet foods at the moment (after too much chocolate at Christmas, I just don’t want sugar right now!) but these still make my mouth water 🙂
Ok, THAT recipe is totally added to my recipe box. THanks, I can’t wait to try it.
Best,
Jenn from http://www.JustAddWaterSilly.com, hopping from check me out saturdays.
Yummy! Looks like a perfect combo of salty and sweet. I am pinning this!
Wow…I think I gained several pounds just reading about this..and the pics are amazing……yummy.

Oh, my, do these ever sound good! I’m definitely going to try them.
MMmmmmm…that stuff is SO good; my grandma makes it, but not as often as I would like! Thanks for sharing at shine on fridays!!
I’m going to watch for your sugar-free, fat-free version… but I’m afraid what you’ll have left will be – just crackers! 🙂
LOL! Connie, you are so right! I might be able to make them with less sugar, but not less fat! 😀
I just made these up this morning and cannot wait to try them! Thanks!
Enjoy Laurel! 😀
I made these a few weeks ago……and pretty much ate them all myself! Fortunately I had the foresight to only make about half a batch.
They are amazing. And now I want some more….
Oh, I totally just Pinned these…they sound amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
I think the Townhouse crackers are the way to go- yowza! (I’d seen them with saltines, but you’ve come up with a brilliant substitution.)
I’ve been wanting to try a batch for years now- I think I’m finally going for it.
Wow! This looks so delicious, my mouth is watering!! Bring on the crackers and chocolate!
Jenny
YUM! I keep hearing about this yummy stuff…. I really need to try it!
I grew up eating these… famous at church events in Northern MN. We call them soda cracker bars… LOL. But they are so yummy!!!!
Uh, looks so good. I’m not a big chocolate fan but I so love toffee. I wish I could grab one off the screen. Never seen the recipe before so I will be trying this out. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday’s Best party!
