Description

Ritz Cracker Toffee is a simple and delicious dessert that combines the buttery crunch of crackers with a rich, caramelized toffee layer topped with melted chocolate and optional nuts. This quick no-fuss treat is perfect for gatherings or a sweet indulgence anytime.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 box Ritz crackers
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the toffee.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Place a single layer of Ritz crackers on the lined baking sheet, making sure none overlap for even coverage.
  3. Make Toffee Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine softened butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, allow it to boil for about three minutes without stirring to develop the toffee flavor.
  4. Pour Mixture Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot butter and sugar mixture evenly over the arranged Ritz crackers, ensuring all crackers are fully coated for a crunchy toffee base.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for five minutes until the mixture is bubbly and caramelized. Remove from oven.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee-covered crackers. Let them sit for two minutes to soften.
  7. Spread Melted Chocolate and Add Nuts: Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the entire surface. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the toffee to cool completely so the chocolate sets and the toffee hardens. Once cooled, break into pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Ensure the toffee mixture boils without stirring to achieve the right consistency and flavor.
  • Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips based on your preference.
  • Chopped nuts are optional but add great crunch and flavor.
  • Let the toffee cool thoroughly before breaking to get clean pieces.
