To make this adult fancy… use a splash of caramel extract and a splash of bourbon (when making the caramel sauce. Use dark chocolate 70% chips (Trader Joes has them) for the choco layer. Pecans and a sprinkle of Himalayan salt like you suggested brings out the above flavors. It’s stellar.
Exactly the way you said! The easiest toffee/caramel I've ever made after several miserable failed attempts! Thank you so much! Christmas just got merrier!
I just made this for a friend's bday and had three people ask for the recipe. I have passed along this link. I tweaked it to have 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of peanut butter chips. So easy to make, definitely going to be a go-to recipe!
I messed it up because i forgot what caramel looks like and there was a picture included in the recipe that i was looking at and I assumed it was what the crackers should look like before to go to the oven (when actually it was what they look like after you added chocolate). So I thought i had to put a whole lot of brown sugar on the crackers, and then when the 1 cup of the recipe wasn't enough, I assumed that I had more crackers than the people in the recipe so I added two cups of brown sugar and butter. Then after obviously I made it burn, it was all black. Okk i never bake i was trying to do smt for my roommates 😭😭 second attempt today lol with a video to help this time
Will be trying this next week. Was gonna do this weekend but I fear if I do it this weekend, it will all be gone by Christmas. I don't want that lol. I LOVE saltine crackers, I LOVE caramel (I know this is toffee, but still similar to caramel) and I LOVE chocolate. I'm gonna do half the candy with pecans on top and for my sister's kids I will do the other half with just Christmas sprinkles. Wish me luck!
I didn't get my pan non-stick enough, so mine was all broken up. Still tastes awesome though. I used crushed candy canes and mini m&ms. I am going to make it for a work thing. This was a tester, so now I can make it better and more uniform.
Just made this and left it to cool in the fridge. It was a fun activity with the kids because they loved greasing the sheet and lining up the crackers while I made the toffee. Can't wait to taste test it!
I watch this video every year! Write it down? Psshhh! 🤣🤣 love this girl! Forward to a friend!✨🎄✨🌟Happieat Holidays y’all! This IS a great gift idea!!! Esp for someone who is not having such good luck.. share your kitchen love❤
What a fun video to watch, and mouth watering too. I love old fashion basic yummy recipes. Great video and excelant instruction. I think I can do it. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
I just had my first bite of these after cooling...OMG!!! so beyond anything i was expecting. Your tutoring was perfect and i followed exactly...thank you!
This turned out delicious years ago but I lost my recipe and I can't tell what the difference is. Nobody gives size of the cookie sheet. I used a 17X13 and didn't seem like there was enough toffee. Think I'd either use a smaller cookie sheet or increase the amount of brown sugar and butter.
Great recipe! I recommend melting the chocolate aside and not directly over the toffee cracker sheet. When I followed your instructions directly, my chocolate ships just cooked and were not spreadable. I used milk chocolate Hershey brand. Did anyone else have this issue?
Hi Melissa! Others have had this issue, and its usually from using a low-quality chocolate. I recommend using a higher quality chocolate like Ghirardelli, or you can melt the chocolate in the microwave first. I go over this in more detail in the blog post.
@@Maryzees1 no it didn’t on mine, I just forgot to put the crackers and toffee for 5 minutes after putting the toffee on the crackers! LoL I did however use the mini semi sweet chip and they melted really well and fast. My first time making this, it made a whole lot! Merry CHRISTmas!!
Sorry I didn’t get to you sooner! It’s been crazy around here all day! As the others have said, the salted butter will definitely work here. You may want to go just a little lighter if you add any salt on top so it doesn’t become too salty. 😊
hello!! how long do you let this cool before putting it in Tupperware? And do you recommend keeping them in the refrigerator or at room temperature until Christmas? I’m hoping they last five days.
just made this. the chocolate didn’t harden so much on the counter, so i popped it in the fridge after 2 hours. Does this need refrigeration now? i usually assume something refrigerated can’t then be at room temperature
@@SugarSpunRun i ended up refrigerating it for a half hour to help the chocolate set, then to make sure it eases back to room temperature i put it in my colder than usual bedroom closet. not a gourmet method but i think it’ll do! i think the general low quality of the chips i was using didn’t help - next time i won’t skimp
@@SugarSpunRun so, making another 2 batches of these already. thinking of covering one in white chocolate while the other is covered in semisweet. i definitely know from experience that white chocolate is a different animal. will it harden the same with this recipe?
My chips wouldn’t melt... this recipe is a standard party fare for our family, but a first time I’ve had this happen... must just be another “COVID”...thing

The Salt Must Flow!!!
Maybe I got lucky but I tried this and idk how you could mess it up. It’s so easy. I crunched up pretzels for my topping
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I'll tell you how you could mess it up...by leaving it in the oven and forgetting to time it 😞
@@angelav9838 lol

Nice Recipe and like the video explained everything and gave measurements 👩🍳🥂⚘
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
So glad I found you! I love the salty sweet!
Thank you so much! :)
Yes the sea salt added so much to it!
I made it ! Thank you for the recipe, it’s SO GOOD!! I added shredded coconut too!!
I'm so glad you liked it!!
I brown the butter before adding the sugar, it adds a richness to the toffee.
Thanks for the video, I'm about to make another batch.
Sounds great! 😊
My mouth started watering! I gotta try this!
I hope you love it! :)
You’re literally a life saver. Thank you for this. It’s an unusual craving, Christmas crack in May. 😹
It's irresistible any time of year! Enjoy 🥰
Love this recipe!!

I'm not going to make this today, it is hot in my area but I will make this when it gets cooler, thanks for this video
It’s so good! I hope you love it! 😊
Trying these right now! Using candy canes as one of the toppings!
I hope you love it! :)
@@SugarSpunRun we've eaten half the tray already 😂 I definitely put too much toffee on, but it was a good practice run for our Christmas party!
Its in the oven now and I can't wait to see how it turns out!
I hope you love it! :)
@@SugarSpunRunhey,how long do you leave it in the fridge to harden please?

As long as it tastes good that is the important thing right? :)
I legit thought that this was a video from Salty Cracker. Not disappointed though.
@Teresa Jones clean up on aisle America!!
Thanks for this super simple recipe ! 🥰
My pleasure 😊
I'm making this for my many family members for Christmas! I can't wait to taste it!
Love that! Thanks for using my recipe 😊

@@SugarSpunRun it's been 3 hours now and half the tray is gone 😁 it tastes so good!
Only half?! Those are rookie numbers! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m glad everyone is enjoying it. 😊
Another winner 😊
Thank you! :)
Made it, AWESOME! Was a huge success with my parishioners.
Awesome!!! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it!!! 😊
Made some last night for the first time and it’s perfect, thank you for your video!! 🇨🇦
You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Could I increase the syrup amount successfully? Seems like the finished product is too thin.
@@Rollwithit699 it thickens as it cools. I would be worried that it’d be too sweet. But that’s just me! Could be a fun experiment ☺️
I made it and it turned out great!

Did you know that you can make this with Splenda brown sugar, and it turns out great.
I did not. Thank you for the feedback! :)
Salteen cracker candy
❤
One of my favorite candies only I use graham crackers instead of saltines. Huge difference.
I have a graham cracker recipe too! So good! ❤️
So the graham crackers are better?
@@erinskeffington3683 Give them a try. I think so.
I tried it!
ITS A WINNER!!!!!!
Yay! I'm happy to hear that 😊
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 AMAZING ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
YUM :P
I love Christmas crack
Me too! 😊
This turned out delicious years ago but I lost my recipe and I can't tell what the difference is. Nobody gives size of the cookie sheet. I used a 17X13 and didn't seem like there was enough toffee. Think I'd either use a smaller cookie sheet or increase the amount of brown sugar and butter.
It was sooo good.

Enjoy ❤️
Made this last night. Ty! Next time more salt. Ever done with pretzels?
Thank you for sharing!
Of course! I hope you love it 😊
If you have unsalted saltines could you use salted butter?

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you for the reply!!!
How long can you keep these and still taste fresh. I want to make it and box it up for Christmas giving about 4 days before Christmas
I would say a week tops. 😊
Not sure what looks sweetest
Thank You!! Has anyone used salted butter? 🧈
That what I have
I just did. I don’t think it will make a difference but I will soon find out lol mine is still cooling down. :)
@@Maryzees1 no it didn’t on mine, I just forgot to put the crackers and toffee for 5 minutes after putting the toffee on the crackers! LoL
I did however use the mini semi sweet chip and they melted really well and fast.

Mine didn’t turn out. The brown sugar didn’t dissolve into the butter. I’m going to try again today :)
I don’t have unsalted butter, can I use salted. Can you use margarine?
Salted butter will work here. It may be a tad bit saltier, but will definitely work. :)
hello!! how long do you let this cool before putting it in Tupperware? And do you recommend keeping them in the refrigerator or at room temperature until Christmas? I’m hoping they last five days.
Room temperature in an air tight container. I do the refrigerator simply because I like it cold. 5 days should be fine. :)
Hello! Is this a soft candy or a hard crunchy candy? Thanks!
Definitely more firm than soft--it has the texture of a crisp cracker!
This looks good and so do you.
just made this. the chocolate didn’t harden so much on the counter, so i popped it in the fridge after 2 hours.
Does this need refrigeration now? i usually assume something refrigerated can’t then be at room temperature

I’ve given up on generic brand chocolate chips. Wayyy too much frustration using them.
@@SugarSpunRun so, making another 2 batches of these already. thinking of covering one in white chocolate while the other is covered in semisweet.
i definitely know from experience that white chocolate is a different animal. will it harden the same with this recipe?
What
Can you substitute Ritz crackers instead of saltines
It'll change the flavor a bit, but it'll work. :)
I learned that this is also called "PMS Bars" by some ladies, for obvious reasons LOL
I like your video
Thank you! 😊
Can I use salted butter?
Yup. 😊
WARNING****** If you use Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips for this recipe it will fail, they do not melt correctly and instead just clump.
So frustrating, I think they changed their formula.
Ok desserts are not my strong suit. I followed directions but the bottom on the crackers were mushy. Help
Hmm did they bake long enough?
All I had to do to find this video of search up white cracker
That certainly is an interesting search...
I want chocolate on both sides though 😔
That may be tough to achieve unfortunately. :(
@@SugarSpunRun the toffee layer actually slipped under the crackers! It coated the entire bottom 🙂 i just didn't want the crackers hanging out.
Who you calling a cracker?
Mine clumped up😭
What part in particular?
My chips wouldn’t melt... this recipe is a standard party fare for our family, but a first time I’ve had this happen... must just be another “COVID”...thing
Honestly I think a lot of the big name chips changed their formula 😔
Never use foil and butter it's a complete waste of your time always parchment paper
As long as you can get your parchment paper to go up the sides of the pan so nothing leaks under that will work just fine.
