How to make saltine cracker candy?

First, start by lining a large sheet pan with aluminum foil. Grease the foil with non-stick cooking spray.

After that, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. and place the crackers onto the pan.

Next, place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and brown sugar.

Stir the ingredients together and bring the mixture to a boil. Stop stirring for 2-3 minutes and insert a candy thermometer.

Once the temperature reads between 270-290 degrees F. turn off the heat. Carefully, pour the toffee over the crackers.

Now, use a spatula or butter knife to smooth out the hot candy. Transfer the sheet pan to the oven to bake for about 5-minutes.

Afterward, remove the soda cracker candy from the oven turn and off your stove.

Then, sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over the warm toffee candy. Again, be careful because everything is hot.

When chips have melted, use a spatula (or butter knife) to smooth out the chocolate.

At this point, it’s time to add the holiday sprinkles and chopped nuts. Personally, I think cashews would make a great topping.

After that, transfer the candy to your fridge to set for about 60-minutes.

Last, once the candy has hardened, break it apart and serve!

It should hold for up to 5-days when stored in your refrigerator (in a sealed container).

That’s it, your saltine cracker candy is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best 🙂
