Description

Churro Saltine Toffee is a deliciously sweet and crunchy treat combining a crispy saltine cracker base with a rich butter and brown sugar toffee layer, topped with melted white chocolate and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for that classic churro flavor. Perfect for holiday gifting or a simple homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

For the Saltine Toffee

  • 40 Saltine Crackers
  • 1 cup Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

For the Topping

  • 2 cups Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the toffee.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon until fully combined; set aside for later use.
  4. Arrange Crackers: Place the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they cover the surface evenly.
  5. Make Toffee Sauce: Combine the salted butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, continue to boil and stir continuously for 5 minutes to achieve a rich caramelized toffee.
  6. Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Pour the hot butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading it out to cover all pieces thoroughly.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes to allow the toffee to set into the crackers.
  8. Settle and Adjust Crackers: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it sit for 1-2 minutes until the crackers settle. Use a butter knife to gently push any overlapping crackers back into a single layer.
  9. Add White Chocolate: Immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee-covered crackers. Let the chocolate sit until it melts enough to spread.
  10. Spread Chocolate and Add Cinnamon Sugar: Using a spatula or butter knife, spread the melted white chocolate over the crackers. Then evenly sprinkle the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely until firm. Once set, cut or break into pieces to serve and enjoy your churro-inspired treat!

Notes

  • Use salted butter to balance the sweetness and enhance flavor.
  • Ensure to stir the toffee mixture continuously during boiling to prevent burning.
  • If white chocolate chips do not melt easily, you can briefly place the pan back in the warm oven or microwave the chips separately before spreading.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a dairy-free version, try substituting butter with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
