If you have never made saltine toffee bark before, you are in for a serious treat! It is one of those treats that is perfect to make together with the kids on a lazy afternoon, it’s quick, easy and oh so delicious!

Saltine Toffee

I have always loved saltine cracker toffee, but I kind of forgot about it, until one of my sweet young women brought it to an activity a few months ago and I remembered how great it is! Now it is a go-to when we are in need of a quick sweet fix, because I typically have all these ingredients on hand, and I can always spare 15 minutes to make something delicious with my sweet little chefs! 

If you love making easy recipes with your kids, try our easy homemade brownies, our delicious homemade soft caramels, or our yummy homemade s’mores bars! Or you can find all our yummy dessert recipes here.

Not only is this recipe super fast and super delicious, but it only uses FOUR INGREDIENTS, all of which you probably have in your pantry right now!

Top Left – Gather your ingredients. 

Top Right – Melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat in a saucepan. 

Bottom Left – While you are melting your caramel mixture, have someone layer your saltine crackers in a sheet pan (or you can do this step before). 

Bottom Right – Pour caramel over crackers and spread evenly with a spatula.

Top Left – Bake in a 400 degree oven for five minutes. 

Top Right – Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over caramel crackers. 

Bottom Left – When chocolate begins to melt, use a spatula to smooth chocolate over the entire pan. 

Bottom Right – Stick pan in the fridge to cool until it is solid and breaks easily into pieces, about ten minutes.

Pro Tips

  • Use good chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips are, the better this recipe will taste. My favorite brands to use are Ghirradelli or Guittard. 
  • Store toffee in the fridge. If stored on the counter the pieces can get soft and melt together. I like to put my broken toffee into a gallon sized zip lock and then we can pull out a piece at a time to soften as desired.

    This looks really good. I’m planning on making it for Christmas. How long does this last? Is making it a week before too early?

      No a week before will be fine! Just store it in the fridge in an airtight container, then allow to soften a little before eating if you like.

    Fantastic recipe when correct quantities used. This recipe reads like the ingredients were somehow transcribed incorrectly. I have made this many times.
    1) Salines: 40-46, not 80. You want a single layer of crackers over the bottom of a cookie sheet. 80 will give you a double layer and your bottom layer will be dry and unsatisfying.
    2) Need to be generous with the butter and brown sugar, one and a bit cups of each is better. Start the timer when you have roaring churning bubbles not just at the start of simmering.
    3) Sprinkling the chocolate chips on will not work. Melt in a microwave or double boiler first and then pour them over and smooth once the top of the toffee has started setting. If you try sprinkling the chocolate chips on and smearing them around you will end up with a (delicious) mess for your top layer.

      Hey Holly! We might have a different-sized pan. We love making this toffee recipe the way we wrote it, but your way sounds great too! Thanks for your tips. We’ll try them!

    My sugar was still pretty grainy. I boiled for 3 minutes stirring but it never set up.

    My Carmel didn’t set up. It’s still really gooey. Did I not boil it long enough?

      Hi, I’m so sorry – it’s impossible to tell you if you didn’t boil it long enough since we weren’t there with you. We have always had success with this recipe but every stove is different! Maybe next time you can try boiling it for longer!
