How to make Churro Cracker Toffee
Step 1: Lay out the crackers. Line a baking sheet with foil, and spray with nonstick spray. Lay the crackers in rows filling the whole pan.
Step 2: Make the toffee. Add the butter and brown sugar to a sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil for about 3 minutes until it starts to turn a golden brown color. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Bake. Spread the toffee mixture over the crackers, covering them as much as you can. Bake the toffee in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove from the oven.
Step 4: Add the Topping. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let it sit for a few minutes as the heat softens them. Spread the white chocolate evenly over the top of the crackers. While its still melty, sprinkle the top all over with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Tips and Tricks
- Baking Sheet: You need to use a rimmed baking sheet to keep the toffee spilling over the edges of the pan.
- Line your Pan: Line the pan with foil or foil to prevent the toffee from sticking to the pan, for easy removal and cleanup.
- Watch Closely: Be careful to watch the toffee as it is cooking on the stove. You want it to be a nice caramel color, but don’t let it get too dark. You can check the temperature with a thermometer to be between 270 and 290 F if you want to be extra careful.
Storage Instructions
Once the toffee is set and broken into pieces you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, make sure your home isn’t too warm or you’ll want to store it in the fridge. You can also store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
You can also freeze the toffee. Store it in a freezer safe container with parchment between each layer to keep the toffee pieces from getting stuck together. It will last about 1 month in the freezer. This is a great way to get ahead on your holiday treats, or to save for when that craving strikes!
This Churro Cracker Toffee is one of those easy homemade candies that everyone will love. It takes basic kitchen ingredients, and turns them into the best buttery, cinnamon sugar candy that you’ll love making during the holidays, or all year long!
