Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this sweet and crunchy treat (exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

1 Sleeve Saltine Crackers: Provides the perfect crispy base with a hint of saltiness.
1 Cup Unsalted Butter: Ensures a rich, buttery caramel layer.
1 Cup Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and deep, caramelized flavor.
2 Cups White Chocolate Chips: For a creamy and sweet topping.

Variations for Spring Delight Toffee

Dark Chocolate Base: Substitute white chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Add Nuts: Sprinkle chopped pistachios, almonds, or pecans for added texture.
Double Layer: Use both white and milk chocolate for a layered look and flavor.
Vegan Option: Use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
Gluten-Free: Opt for gluten-free crackers as the base.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the edges for easy cleanup. Arrange the Saltine crackers in a single layer, side by side, to cover the entire sheet. Set aside.

2. Make the Toffee Base

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the mixture melts and begins to bubble.
Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and takes on a golden caramel hue.

3. Pour and Bake

Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the crackers, using a spatula to spread it out if necessary.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the toffee-coated crackers for 5-7 minutes. The toffee should bubble and spread across the crackers.

4. Add the Chocolate Topping

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the hot toffee layer. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to soften.
Using a clean spatula, gently spread the melted white chocolate evenly across the toffee.

5. Decorate with Spring Colors

While the white chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the surface with spring-colored sprinkles or pastel M&Ms. Be generous to ensure every bite is vibrant and fun.

6. Cool and Break Apart

Allow the toffee to cool completely. For quicker cooling, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Once firm, lift the toffee from the sheet using the parchment paper and break it into bite-sized pieces with your hands.
