Description

Easy Churro Saltine Toffee Bars combine the salty crunch of saltine crackers with rich, buttery caramel toffee topped with a classic cinnamon-sugar blend reminiscent of churros. This quick and simple dessert is perfect for any occasion, delivering a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors with a satisfying crunchy and gooey texture that both kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 sleeve (about 40) saltine crackers

Toffee Mixture

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Optional: 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the bottom completely without gaps.
  2. Make the toffee mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.
  3. Pour the toffee over crackers: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading quickly to coat them thoroughly.
  4. Add optional chocolate chips: Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer and let them sit for a minute or two to soften. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top using a spatula for a smooth finish.
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar: Combine ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar blend over the warm chocolate or directly over the toffee if skipping chocolate.
  6. Chill until set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the toffee is fully set and firm enough to cut into bars.
  7. Slice and serve: Use the parchment paper or foil overhang to lift the entire slab from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp saltine crackers to maintain crunchiness after baking.
  • Refrigerate the bars to allow the toffee to set properly for clean slicing.
  • Work quickly with the toffee as it thickens fast; pour and spread immediately after boiling.
  • Pack crackers tightly without gaps for even toffee coverage.
  • Use parchment or foil for easy removal and neat slices.
