Have you ever tried toffee made from crackers? It's so easy to make, and is such a fun flavor combo with the sweet and salty. These are extra special because they have the addition of white chocolate and are topped with cinnamon and sugar, just like a snickerdoodle cookie. The perfect snack for a fun night with friends, or great gift idea for neighbors at Christmas!
Snickerdoodle Cracker Toffee
Serves 10-12
1 package Schär GF Table Crackers
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups white chocolate chips, melted according to package directions
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or parchment paper. Lay out a single layer of crackers, filling the pan. In a medium saucepan, bring the butter and brown sugar to boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture over the crackers, spreading to cover all. Bake for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate. Pour over the hot toffee. Spread out with a spatula to cover all. Combine the sugar and cinnamon and immediately sprinkle over the wet white chocolate. Allow to cool completely (can refrigerate to speed it up) and break or cut into pieces.
Step-by-step tutorial:
Gather your ingredients. You will need a package of Schar Table Crackers (or other gluten free saltine cracker substitute), 2 sticks of butter, brown sugar, white chocolate chips or melts, cinnamon, and granulated sugar.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil or parchment paper. Lay out a single layer of crackers, filling the pan. It's okay if some are broken. Just do your best to fill up the pan with a cracker base. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup brown sugar to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
It will get thick and amber color. Immediately pour the caramel over the crackers. Spread the caramel over all the crackers with a metal spatula. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven. It will be all bubbly and golden. Pour the melted white chocolate over the toffee, then spread it out with a metal spatula.
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle over the entire pan of toffee, giving it a snickerdoodle coating. Allow to cool completely. You can put the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes and they will be ready to break or cut into pieces.
Using a large knife, cut the toffee into squares. These are such a fun twist on the original toffee cracker recipe. You will love the flavors and crunch.
Serve a bowl full of these at any party or gathering and you will get lots of compliments! Super easy and yummy, especially during the holidays!
