This pecan saltine toffee is made by topping a layer of crackers with homemade toffee, melted chocolate, and chopped pecans for a wonderfully delicious treat.
The holiday season in full swing and I don’t know about you, but I am loving every minute of it. From spending loads of time with the family, to watching Christmas movies, to making tamales, this is my favorite time of the year!
My mami loves this easy sweet treat. Growing up she made it every year, and now I make it too.
I love making it at the holidays. Packed into Christmas tins or holiday baggies, it makes for the sweetest gift.
It makes for a delectable homemade gift for teachers, neighbors, Sunday school teachers or loved ones any time of year.
Saltine toffee is quite possibly the easiest holiday treat I make. I give it as a holiday gift to my friends and neighbors and everyone loves it. A salty layer of crispy saltine crackers is coated with a sweet golden caramel then topped with chocolate chips. You can top it with toffee or anything that your little heart desires. Sprinkles, shaved coconut, dried fruit or nuts…all of these are great options! I went with pecans, which is a magical combination.
I suggest doubling or tripling this recipe because it will go fast! People love this toffee so much. I have even seen people nickname it “Christmas Crack,” on the internet.
