Ingredients
1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
1 cup (220g) packed dark brown sugar
40 salted saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
3 cups (18oz) good-quality white chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
Additional toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, or dried fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer, side by side, ensuring they cover the tray completely. Fold up the foil edges to form a shallow tray around the crackers.
- Make the toffee: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium-high heat. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened and smooth.
- Pour and bake: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the arranged crackers. Spread it quickly and evenly using a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, allowing the toffee to bubble over the crackers.
- Melt the chocolate: While the toffee layer is baking, melt the white chocolate chips with the coconut oil using a double boiler. Stir continuously until smooth and creamy.
- Layer the chocolate: Remove the tray from the oven and pour half of the melted white chocolate over the toffee layer. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Let it sit for a minute, then pour and spread the remaining chocolate for a smooth finish.
- Add toppings: Immediately top with festive sprinkles, chopped nuts, or dried fruit if desired.
- Chill and break: Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until fully hardened. Once set, peel off the foil and break the slab into bite-sized pieces.
Notes
