Mint Chocolate Christmas Crack (Saltine Cracker Toffee)

A festive and crunchy Christmas treat featuring saltine crackers topped with a buttery brown sugar toffee, covered in white chocolate and Andes Mint Chocolate pieces, finished with crushed candy canes.

  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 16 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 cups white almond bark or white melting chocolate
  • 1 cup Andes Mint Chocolate pieces, chopped
  • 5 candy canes, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  3. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer covering the baking sheet.
  4. In a saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat.
  5. Add brown sugar to the melted butter, whisk to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, whisk continuously for about 3 minutes until the mixture turns a deeper brown color (temperature reaches 270-290°F).
  7. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading to cover all crackers.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove and turn the oven off.
  9. Immediately sprinkle chopped Andes Mint Chocolate pieces over the hot toffee, letting them melt slightly; spread evenly.
  10. Sprinkle chopped candy canes over the melted chocolate layer.
  11. Allow the baking sheet to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
  12. Once set, break into pieces to serve.

Notes

Use unsalted butter to balance the saltiness of the crackers. White almond bark melts and sets smoothly, providing a perfect coating. Store in airtight containers to keep the toffee fresh and crispy. You can substitute other crackers like club or Ritz for different flavors.
