Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • Saltine crackers – enough to cover a baking sheet in a single layer

Toffee

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange saltine crackers closely in a single layer, covering the entire surface to form an even base.
  2. Make Toffee: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly until the mixture bubbles and achieves a golden brown color, indicating caramelization.
  3. Add Cream and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the toffee mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Immediately pour the hot toffee evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, making sure all crackers are thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the toffee is bubbly and golden brown around the edges, signaling readiness.
  6. Add Cinnamon and Powdered Sugar: Once out of the oven and still warm, sprinkle a mixture of ground cinnamon and powdered sugar evenly over the toffee layer, then allow the dessert to cool completely before cutting into bars for serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the toffee mixture constantly to avoid burning.
  • Allow the toffee to cool completely for clean, easy slicing.
  • Use unsalted butter to control salt levels and balance flavors.
  • You can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For extra crunch, toast the crackers in the oven for 5 minutes before adding the toffee.
