Easter Toffee

Hi Everyone, looking for something to leave out for the Easter bunny? Why not try this Easter Toffee? It’s the “Easter” version of a classic saltine toffee recipe. This can be a new, easy and fun Easter tradition!

I love Saltine Toffee recipes because they are so simple to make using everyday pantry ingredients that I already have on hand. I am always finding a reason to make Saltine Toffee recipes, for example, when I was craving butterscotch, I made this Chocolate Butterscotch Saltine Toffee.

It’s perfect when you have a craving for something satisfying (hint: it’s that combination of butter and chocolate with Saltine crackers!) and sweet. That buttery, crunchy texture is so yummy and I find that it goes perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Doesn’t this Easter Toffee look so festive with all the pastel colors? I topped it with M&M’s (a personal favorite) but you can use your favorite Easter-themed candies – as much or as little as you want.

It would also make a great welcome, edible gift for family and friends – who wouldn’t want a cellophane bag filled with these bright sweeties?

It’s easy to make a lot of it too, so if you need a party favor for an Easter party you can easily make a batch or double batch of it.

Ingredients for Easter Toffee

• 48 (or more, depending on the size of your baking sheet) Saltine crackers (regular)
• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
• 1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
• 6 ounces white chocolate chip morsels, use the best quality possible because white chocolate is a little harder to melt *see below for substitution
• 1-2 drops of gel food coloring (I used red to make pink and green) – to make the white chocolate have some pastel color to it. *you could also try using colored candy melts in the same amount as the white chocolate – this is optional and you can always just leave the white chocolate white
• Easter and Springtime-themed sprinkles and candies- the amount is to taste

Kitchen Tools

• rimmed baking sheet
• measuring spoons and cups
• heavy-duty aluminum foil or parchment paper (I used parchment because it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the toffee as much as the foil)
• baking spatula and/or offset spatula
• medium saucepan
• small bowls for mixing the food coloring and white chocolate – optional

Easter is one of those holidays where desserts are a must. Amongst the most popular are Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Rice Krispie Nests, Carrot Cake Trifle, and these pastel-colored Sugar Cookie Bars. We hope you add this Easter Toffee recipe to your list of favorite Easter dessert recipes!

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cover a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (make sure the parchment is covering up the sides).
• Cover sheet pan with 48 (or more) saltine crackers.
• Melt the unsalted butter and packed, dark brown sugar in a medium sauce pan. Boil for 5 minutes or until it is mixed and bubbly. Stir with a whisk or wooden spoon.
• Pour carefully over the arranged Saltines.
• Place sheet pan in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, the butter-sugar mixture should be bubbly when you take it out.
• Take the sheet pan out and sprinkle the white chocolate chip morsels, after a few minutes, using an offset spatula spread the chocolate evenly. Add sprinkles and candy.

  EXPERT TIP - Optionally, you can mix 1-2 drops of food coloring with the melted white chocolate and spread it to get a pastel effect. As another option for adding color, you can try using the same amount candy melts as well if you prefer.
• Cool in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight to allow it to set. Take out and you can break it apart with your hands or use a sharp knife to cut. Package to give for gift-giving and enjoy!
