I am a little obsessed with sweet and salty combinations. I can remember in college running through McDonald’s for fries and Wendy’s for a frosty and eating the frosty with the fries when I had been through an exceptionally long day. So, this 4 ingredient saltine cracker toffee that combines sweet and salt had to be banned from my house.
Saltine cracker toffee is a four-ingredient candy recipe that is easy to make with saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips and baked quickly before being broken into pieces.
Saltine Cracker Toffee Ingredients
The ingredients are simple and most likely in your pantry already. That is what makes these so dangerous. Doesn’t everyone have saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips on hand at all times?
How to Make Saltine Cracker Toffee Candy?
Start by melting two sticks of butter with one cup of brown sugar.
Let meltdown and boil over low heat for five minutes.
While the caramel mixture boils, arrange four saltine crackers on an aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll pan. Be sure to spray cooking spray over the aluminum foil before laying the crackers down.
Then pour the caramel mixture over top of the crackers.
Then bake for4-5 minutes on 425 degrees until the caramel mixture is bubbly.
Once you pull the pan out of the oven, sprinkle a bag of chocolate chips or two cups of chocolate chips over the crackers.
Once the chips have begun melting, spread them out over the top of all the crackers.
I popped the pan in the fridge to speed up the hardening process. Once the chocolate is hard to the touch, break apart with your hand. The pieces will break into random shapes in sizes. Then give it all away. Trust me. Don’t make this unless you have a dozen people to share with immediately.

I did not need to see this… That is dangerously simple and convenient!
I wish I didn’t have all the ingredients at home right now.. This is so dangerous! >_<
I love salty and sweet and I think this is simple enough that I could make it with the kids! Thanks for sharing!
I have made this for a Christmas cookie exchange. It is so yummy. I got lost of complements. The recipe I used included Toffee Bits sprinkled on top of melted chocolate. I made some with and without.
Thank you so much for the great recipe reminder!!
