is that the one with the saltine crackers? 70% of my trys have been failures but I still try and try.

It basically *is* toffee (well cooked brown sugar and butter). I've always called it saltine toffee (the recipe I use calls it that). Doesn't really work without either (though you could do a different type of cracker).

Yes it is

So it is just borown suger and butter, so it is not the stuff that gets stuck in your teeth then, I might have been thinking of caramel (sp)

Yes, the butter and sugar make the toffee.

This is my tried and true recipe for "Saltine Toffee" I make it every year
1 sleeve salted saltine crackers
Cover cookie sheet with foil, and non stick spray. Line crackers on the sheet, fill to edge with crackers (even if you have to break them in half)

In pan melt 1 stick salted butter, and 1 cup packed brown sugar. Bring to a boil. I stir gently with a wooden spoon while it's melting.

Heat oven to 350
.Pour hot mixture (and be careful, it is VERY HOT) evenly over the crackers. Spread with a knife if necessary. Bake for 10 min. Cool 1 min and then spread 1 bag of chocolate chips over the toffee. Return to the oven for 1 min or so until chocolate is just about all melted. Spread chocolate evenly with a knife or spatula to even it out. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. (I use a combination sometimes of nuts, craisins and raisins on one of the trays, just for variety). Store in an airtight container

I usually end up making at least 2-3 trays at it disappears very quickly, lol!

What are you envisioning Christmas crack to be without toffee? What would you want to use instead? Isn't it just toffee on saltines?

I have been hearing that Christmas crack is all the rage for a decacde so kinda wsnt to see what the hype is

I’ve never heard of this before.

Saltine crackers and toffee? Guess it can be any more unique than potato chip candy thing my mom made one year.

I had to see what this thread was about. The extra "s" on Christmas in the title with the word "crack" right after it really threw me off. LOL!

Haha, I’d never heard of this recipe and thought the same thing about the thread title. But now I’m looking through my pantry to see if I have Saltines on hand...

 

[xjillianpaige]

toffee and caramel are fairly similar, right? you could substitute it. caramel is just creamier?

 

[Heather07438]

Caramel also has milk or cream added and is cooked at a lower temp. Caramel comes out more chewy or sticky where toffee should be brittle.

Think you all you called my typ to my attention I corrected it

It doesn't sound like it should be good, but it's so addictive.

When I am making the toffee, I let it boil for a few minutes. It seems to set it up a bit more when I do it that way.

 

[Wendy1985]

I might make ot tomorrow

Well I just might have to give it a try. I love toffee. I might have to buy new saltines though. The ones I have aren’t very good.
