Saltine Toffee – aka Christmas Crack
Warning!!
The dessert below is so amazing that there is the real possibility you will be unable to stop eating once you start. With only 5 ingredients, this saltine toffee can be made in a matter of minutes. I love the combination of buttercrunch toffee and chocolate, so these are the perfect salty sweet snack. I remember the first time I ever had these and discovered that there were actually salted top saltine crackers in them. I didn’t know whether to be intrigued or repulsed. It seemed odd to have a cracker in a dessert, but after tasting it I learned very clearly that this is a total winner!
Yes, I know that it is Day 5 of the 24 Days of Christmas Baking and I already have 3 that are chocolate and toffee/caramel. It shows you the flavours that I love, but also know that there are plenty of other amazing sweets to come that have a wide range of flavours!
This can be stored in an airtight container for a couple weeks, although, there is likely no way it will last any longer than a day or two. The best way to enjoy these is to keep them in the freezer. I love eating them while they are still cold. YUM! There are recipes for this all over the net. This recipe was sourced from AllRecipes.
