Saltine Cracker Toffee Recipe

Halloween chocolate crack is one of those recipes that seems like it would be a little tough to make because candy can be fickle, but this recipe is not.
There’s no candy thermometer involved in making the toffee, just butter and brown sugar in a saucepan, a little bit of boiling, a short amount of baking, and topped with chocolate chips and candy.
Plus, this works for Halloween, the Christmas holiday season, or any other holiday. All you need to do is switch out the candy.

The sweet chocolate saltine toffee is absolutely delicious, too.
I’ve made a similar Christmas crack recipe in the past, and people keep coming back for more. The toffee, chocolate, and candy combination are addictive.
If you love candy, give this easy holiday peanut brittle a try. It’s simple to make and the perfect gift for the holidays.

I used candy eyes from Wilton, as well as Halloween sprinkles and their disposable counter covers.
Be sure to check out their Halloween lineup, as they have a lot of fun treats, cupcake holders, and so much more.

Step-By-Step Instructions

First, line a cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with nonstick spray.
I used a large jelly roll pan, which is about 10″ x 15,” so any size close to that will work.

Line the crackers on the cookie sheet in a single layer.
I put as many as I have room for on the sheet.
As you’ll notice in the picture above, I used a disposable counter cover from Wilton.
The box comes with ten covers, and they are large enough to cover a lot of your counter.
It kept the counter from getting sticky and messy, so clean-up was literally a cinch.

Secondly, add the butter and light brown sugar to a saucepan and turn it on medium-high heat. Bring it to a boil.
You can use salted or unsalted butter for the recipe, as either one will work.

Once the brown sugar mixture boils, take it off of the stove and pour it over the crackers.
You don’t need a thermometer, we’re just getting it to the boiling point. Let it boil for about 30 seconds or so, and take it off.

Gently pour the mixture over the crackers.
They might shift a little as you pour, but that’s ok you can either leave them or shift them back to their position with a fork.
Just be careful as it’s boiling hot!

Place the crackers and toffee in a preheated oven for seven minutes.
The toffee will bubble up and cook more in the oven.

When you take the crackers out of the oven, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the toffee while it’s still hot and allow the chips to sit there for about a minute to soften.

Once the chocolate softens, spread it out.
The melted chocolate chips look so delicious and fun spread out over the toffee.

Sprinkle the candy on top of the chocolate and toffee and refrigerate for a couple of hours to harden the toffee and chocolate.
Optional: You can sprinkle chopped pecans on top if you like them.

Finally, after you’ve refrigerated the Halloween chocolate crack for a couple of hours, break it into smaller bite-sized pieces and enjoy.
The tinfoil might stick a little, but it will peel right off.
I usually keep it in the refrigerator because it will soften a bit if you leave it out. But, it is fine on the counter at room temperature.
Keep the candy in an airtight container.
Optional Ingredients
If you want to change things up a little, try some different ingredients. Here’s a great list to choose from.
- Milk chocolate chips
- Graham crackers
- Club crackers
- Dark chocolate chips
- Peanut butter chips
- Butterscotch chips
- White chocolate chips
- Candy canes
- Dark brown sugar
