Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer.
- 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly. Once the mixture begins to boil, let it bubble for 3 minutes, continuing to stir.
- 3. Remove the toffee mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- 4. Carefully pour the toffee over the saltine crackers, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- 5. Bake the toffee-covered crackers for 5–6 minutes, until the toffee is bubbling.
- 6. As soon as the toffee comes out of the oven, sprinkle the mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon over the top, covering the toffee completely.
- 7. Allow the Churro Saltine Toffee to cool slightly, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
- 8. Once the toffee is set, break or cut it into squares. For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle with melted white chocolate or add a smear of cream cheese frosting.
