Time for an EASY holiday treat! Christmas is coming and you can whip up this delicious Soda Cracker Toffee in just a few minutes! Four extra simple ingredients, and about 20 minutes and it's all yours.
Easy gift idea!
Also known as Christmas cracker toffee, Christmas crack, and saltine cracker toffee, our soda cracker toffee is a great Christmas candy gift for neighbors and friends. You'll want to keep some around the house too, cause it's just that good! This easy toffee is an all 'round favorite. At first bite you'll think you've just munched some scrumptious traditional English toffee. But then, wait. Is it a cookie? There's great crunch, and the soda crackers add a fun dimension to this holiday treat. The crackers are also an economical addition.
4 Simple Ingredients for toffee
To start you simply lay out a sleeve of soda or saltine crackers on a foil lined baking sheet sprayed with some PAM. We prefer the salted crackers. Next, boil your butter and brown sugar together to may a caramel like syrup. Pour the syrup over your crackers. Easy right?
How to melt chocolate in the oven
Pop that pan of crackers in your oven and let them sizzle a few minutes. Then remove from the oven and quickly sprinkle chocolate chips over the crackers and spread to cover. You can set the pan back in the oven a couple of minutes if your chocolate needs some help melting.
Which nuts are your favorite?
While the chocolate is soft, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top (optional). We like almonds or pecans best and we think the nuts give a finished look to this simple candy. Doesn't this look like the best Christmas candy? But honestly, we love it any time of the year!
There's still time to add some of this deliciousness to your holidays. You're gonna L-O-V-E it!
Enjoy!

I have an abundance of Keebler Soda Crackers and the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. Would you recommend using them?
