Sweet Treat: Easy Toffee Crackers Recipe

by Brandi on January 4th, 2012 | 2 Comments »

A few weeks before Christmas, Toffee Crackers were all the buzz with my friends and also on Pinterest. Having never tried them before, I decided to give a recipe from Allrecipes.com a try. It was very good but I think the temperature and cooking time are a bit too high/long. Then, I found this recipe from A Southern Grace. Her temp was not as high but her baking time was a bit longer. Hmmm.

Then, I decided to just experiment with this myself. The recipe is halved and the cooking times have changed a bit. I hope you enjoy! This was a huge hit at our family gatherings.

Toffee Crackers Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
Crackers or Cereal of your choice (pretzels would be great as well)
1 1/2 Cups Semi-Sweet Morsels

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Place crackers in a single layer to cover cookie sheet (about 20 or so crackers), set aside.
Combine butter and sugar in a pot and stir constantly; bring to boil. Once mixture has started to boil, allow to boil for 3 minutes. Mixture should be a nice caramel brown color.
Pour mix on top of crackers, spread with spoon to cover all crackers.
Place cookie sheet in oven and bake for 6 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with morsels. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Once morsels have melted, spread over crackers.
Place in refrigerator to cool and harden.
Break into bite-size pieces once cool.
