Ingredients
Base
- 35-40 saltine crackers
Toffee Layer
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
Topping
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Crackers: Place 35-40 saltine crackers evenly on the prepared baking sheet so they are touching and form an even layer without gaps.
- Make Toffee Mixture: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1 cup butter with 1 cup brown sugar. Whisk continuously and let the mixture boil for a few minutes to create a smooth toffee sauce.
- Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot brown sugar and butter mixture over the arranged crackers, spreading it evenly to coat all crackers well.
- Bake the Crackers: Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 4 minutes. This step helps the toffee soak into the crackers, making them deliciously crunchy and sweet.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the crackers bake, stir together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add White Chocolate: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle 2 cups white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let sit for a few minutes so the chocolate melts from the residual heat.
- Spread Chocolate and Add Topping: Using a knife or offset spatula, spread the melted white chocolate across the entire surface. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Chill and Serve: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or speed up the process by placing the pan in the refrigerator. Once set, cut into pieces and serve your irresistible Churro Crack.
Notes
- Using parchment paper makes cleanup simple and prevents sticking.
- You can adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio to suit your taste preference for more or less spice.
- Allowing the chocolate layer to harden fully is key for clean cutting and the best texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated.
