    Churro Saltine Toffee Recipe

    Ingredients:

    • - 1 sleeve saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
    • - 1 cup unsalted butter
    • - 1 cup packed light brown sugar
    • - 2 cups white chocolate chips
    • - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the crackers are touching but not overlapping.

    2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is thickened.

    3. Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture over the saltine crackers, spreading it evenly to cover all the crackers.

    4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly.

    5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the top of the caramel. Let the chocolate chips sit for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to melt. Then, use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.

    6. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the melted chocolate layer.

    7. Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for faster cooling. Once cooled and set, break the toffee into pieces.

    8. Enjoy the sweet, salty, and cinnamon-sugar goodness of your Churro Saltine Toffee!
