Ingredients
35–40 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups white chocolate chips
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Arrange the Crackers: Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the crackers are touching each other and filling the pan evenly.
Make the Toffee Layer: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil and cook for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth toffee sauce.
Bake the Crackers: Pour the brown sugar mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading it to cover them completely. Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: While the crackers are baking, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then set it aside.
Add the White Chocolate: Once the pan is out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a few minutes to melt, then spread the chocolate evenly using a knife or offset spatula.
Sprinkle the Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the melted white chocolate for that signature churro flavor.
Cool and Serve: Let the chocolate set, either at room temperature or by placing it in the fridge for faster cooling. Once set, cut into pieces and serve.
Notes
Variations: You can use milk or dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
Nutty Twist: Add crushed pecans or almonds for extra crunch.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon-sugar mix for a sweet and spicy version.
