SALTINE CRACKER TOFFEE
This toffee goes quickly! Therefore, I always make a couple of batches! It tastes amazing! We like to make it with saltine crackers. As a result, the sweet and salty combination is perfection. You can make this same recipe with Graham Crackers or Ritz Crackers which gives the toffee a different final taste. Experiment to see which one is your favorite. You may have also seen this saltine cracker toffee referred to as Christmas crack, saltine toffee or Saltine cracker candy.
WHAT IS TOFFEE?
Toffee is a confection made by caramelizing sugar or molasses along with butter and occasionally flour. The mixture is heated until its temperature reaches the hard crack stage. Toffee is sometimes mixed with nuts or raisins and topped with chocolate.
HOW TO STORE SALTINE CRACKER TOFFEE
The toffee can be stored in an airtight container, to prevent the toffee from softening at room temperature, or in the refrigerator, for about two weeks. It can also be frozen for about one month. Just let the toffee thaw before eating.

This looks delicious and I’m planning to try. But one question. In the instructions it says to drizzle with white chocolate but I don’t see white chocolate in the list of ingredients. Can you clarify? Thanks

Kay- I didn’t drizzle mine with White Chocolate but you sure could and it would be so tasty.
