Gifts from the Kitchen, Raid the Pantry Cracker Toffee
Who can resist a bite of a homemade sweet treat…
This super easy recipe can be adapted to what you have in your pantry!
I rate this recipe Triple D
Decadent, Dangerous & Delicious!
You can use any kind of rectangular or square crackers you have on hand,
Graham crackers, saltines, club crackers
Any combo of chocolate chips, white, dark, milk, butterscotch, peanut butter…
Any nuts, peanuts, honey roasted peanuts, cashews, pecans
The mini peanut butter cups are worth a trip to the store,
or you can cut up Snickers bars or any candy bars you might have
Lay out the crackers on a lightly sprayed parchment lined baking sheet
Melt brown sugar and butter, bring to a boil and stir continually for 3 minutes
Carefully spoon sauce over crackers spreading with a spoon to cover all
Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes
Top immediately with chips and let sit for 2 minutes
As they begin to melt, spread them into an even layer with the back of a large spoon
Top immediately with cashews, salt* and peanut butter cups
*Optional: If you like salted caramel, add a sprinkle of a large grain salt like sea salt or kosher
Turn oven off and return pan to warm oven for 5-10 minutes to slightly melt everything together
Set aside to chill until set or refrigerate
Cut or break into pieces
This toffee would be a most welcome gift for any host or hostess
friends, neighbors for the upcoming holidays
Or tuck it into a basket with other goodies
You can also raid a few trick or treat bags for candy too!

Jenna, this recipe will be definitely made during the holidays. Looks so delicious and easy! Happy Sunday!
Thanks Pam, sooooo good!
This is marvelous darling!
Be careful it is dangerously good!!
you’ve added extra goodies to one of my favorite things. i rarely make this because i eat most, not a good thing!
It is hard to resist!
We love toffee around here. In fact we keep it in the freezer for a quick snack. Great idea for gifts. Thanks for the recipe. Happy Sunday, Jenna!
Keeping it in the freezer is a great idea, less temptations!
Oh Yes! This IS dangerously good. Very addicting! Ha! Thanks Jenna, never thought about adding the mini Reeses cups, yum! 🍊🍂
They are definitely the best part!
What a fun idea!
Jenna, Yum, a sweet and salty combo that IS addictive! We love cracker toffee or ‘crack’ as we refer to it. 😉
What a perfect treat for any hostess gift, Jenna, and so easy, too.
this stuff is dangerous! But easy to make with your grands!
Jenna, oh my, this looks delicious!! I think this will be the perfect thing to make with my little people when they are here for Thanksgiving vacation. A great hostess gift, too! Thank you for sharing this, hope you have a wonderful week, friend. Xo Lidy
Yes, a great recipe to make with the littles, thanks Lidy!
Oh good grief Jenna! My mouth is watering! YES mam this is a keeper! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Dangerously good Cindy!
This looks super easy and WAY too tasty!
Exactly!
This does look decadent!! Yum! 😍 I would never have guessed you started with crackers!
omg, it really is decadent and so good 🙂
Oh oh oh! I will be making this at Christmas for my neighbors! And maybe a little for meeeeeeeee!
So glad to see we’re not the only family that does this; we often make cracker toffee and I don’t think we’ve ever made it the same way twice! One time we even mixed a bit of peanut butter into the butter/sugar for some added PB flavor. Pinned.
Great idea, yes, this is definitely a versatile recipe and one I will be making often!
Awesome idea for a no notice treat. I forgot I was suposed to take something to a party tomorrow so this will be perfect.
They will LOVE it! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for sharing at #ThursdayFavoriteThings. Pinned and shared. Have a lovely week. I hope to see you at next week’s party too!
