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.

How to Make the Best Pecan Saltine Toffee:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps with clean-up.

Line baking evenly with saltine crackers.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat bring butter and brown sugar to a boil, once it has reached boiling point, allow to bubble for two minutes, remove from heat and immediately pour over top of saltine crackers.

Carefully place baking sheet in oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with chocolate chips and allow to sit for two minutes then with an offset spatula evenly spread chocolate.

Once chocolate is evenly spread over the entire surface, sprinkle with pecans.

Cool completely, and then place in fridge to harden. Slice and serve.

Store Saltine Toffee in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to one week.
