Saltine Cracker Toffee is a favorite treat in our family. It’s easy to make and tastes amazing! Make this sweet snack any time or for holiday entertaining.
This cracker toffee takes about 30 minutes to make from start to finish.
Cakes and pies are great for special occasions. But for a quick and easy sweet treat, you can hardly beat this classic saltine cracker toffee recipe.
I guarantee you’ll need to show some restraint to keep from eating it all at once! I made a batch a couple of weeks ago and my kids have been begging me to make it almost every day since!
For other variation on cracker treats, don’t miss my graham cracker and ritz cracker toffee as well as my peanut butter marshmallow cracker treats. All these recipes are out of this world!
Use mini chocolate chips in this recipe so the chocolate doesn’t overwhelm the sweet & salty toffee flavors.
Even as a chocolate lover, I think too much used here can be overwhelming. This isn’t a “chocolate recipe” so you definitely want the flavors of the crackers and caramel to come through.
Saltine Cracker Toffee Recipe
- 24 saltine squares
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1 Tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the crackers in a single layer in the pan, and make sure they’re touching one another. Set aside while you make the caramel topping.
Melt butter and brown sugar together in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Increase temperature to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook 2-3 minutes stirring constantly. Consistency will be like caramel.
Pour the sauce evenly over the saltines. Use a knife or back of a spoon to help spread it out. Sprinkle the almonds all over the top and bake for about 10 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let them melt.
Once the cracker toffee is completely cooled, break it apart and enjoy!
Growing up, we ALWAYS had a box of saltine crackers in the pantry. This is one of the best ways to use them!

Chris, This recipe reminds me of a family favorite that I make at Passover, using matzos the way you use saltines. It’s a simple and great way to make a dessert that both adults and kids love.
Oh that sounds like an interesting change up, Laura! Aren’t they amazing!
What a fun idea. These would be so addictive. Wouldn’t last 1/2 hour around here. 🙂
It takes a lot of willpower to resist, Susan!
Love this quick treat!
I don’t think I could control myself around this toffee 🙂 Looks so good!
It’s impossible for me, Brandon. I have to make it in small batches and make sure the kids are around to help eat it.
