I love toffee. It’s amazing something so simple and so delicious is only made once a year! Toffee has to be included in the annual cookie tray. My brother-in-law would protest if I didn’t make toffee!
Typically, I make toffee with butter and brown sugar, boiling away until it reaches the proper temperature for toffee perfection. I’ve always heard about saltine toffee, but I’ve never tried it until today. Holy cow, why the heck did it take me so long! I cannot believe how simple and how fantastic this is! You get all the glorious flavor of toffee, but with a little extra crunch from the crackers. This is all completely magical because you cannot actually taste the crackers! Who is the mastermind behind this candy? I want to marry them. Ok, so not really, but I am in love with this recipe!
The entire pan of toffee took me about 20 minutes to make. The beauty is its baked! When my pot of gold came out of the oven, I topped it with chopped white chocolate. I spread the chocolate to coat it all like frosting then sprinkled pecans and cranberries. Festive and perfect!

- 54 saltine crackers
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 6 (1 oz) squares white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- Preheat oven to 425. Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Arrange saltines in an even layer on foil. Set aside. In a sauce pan, combine butter and sugar. Bring to boil over medium heat. Let mixture boil for two minutes. Remove from heat and stir in condensed milk until mixture is well blended. Poor over crackers and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle white chocolate over toffee. Let sit for a minute and spread chocolate with an offset spatula until chocolate covers the toffee. Sprinkle with pecans and cranberries. Let cool completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Toffee will stay good for about 5 days.

I love toffee too and yes, I’ve tried that saltine treat. Totally delicious. Your recipe is good and it looks so festive for the season.
do I put the crackers on the cookie sheet on top of the foil?
This looks wonderful! My husband will love this!
Thanks Jessica! My husband didn’t even get a chance to try it!
This looks amazing! I have tried the regular saltine/chocolate recipe using white sugar and no condensed milk. So this will be different and I’m anxious to see how it tastes!
I hope you try this, you won’t be disappointed!
I love toffee but never thought to make it for myself. Now you’re talking about making saltine toffee. I’ve never heard of that and I’m not living under a rock. Honest! I need to get with the times and make a batch. People are beginning to talk.
It does make a large pan, so you do want to try to share! You haven’t been under a rock, you’ve been busy creating fabulous Italian dishes!
this sounds absolutely fab! Cant complain when you dont have to slave away over the hob for hours either

I LOOOOOOOVE saltine toffee. I first had it in school when my classmate brought it for a holiday party (remember when us kids could actually have holiday parties?!) and I fell in love instantly, only to never make it when I was older–blasphemy! This version looks delectable with the white choc and cranberries.. totally drooling over it!
Good to know it’s drool worthy!
