Why You’ll Love It
Little hands can help make this sweet treat! Our girls line the sheet with crackers. I make and pour the brown sugar on top. Then they sprinkle with chocolate chips and decorate with their favorite candies!
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Saltine Crackers – I love using saltines because they’re perfectly salty and square, making them easy to organize without shifting on a cookie sheet. You can use your favorite crackers including graham crackers, Ritz, Club, or gluten-free crackers. The options are endless!
- Butter – Salted or unsalted, your preference.
- Brown Sugar – I use light brown sugar, but you can substitute with dark brown for richer flavor.
- White Chocolate – White chocolate almond bark, melting wafers or chocolate chips.
- Toppings – Miniature Easter eggs, jelly beans, sprinkles, M&M’s, Cadbury eggs, colorful miniature or Easter shaped marshmallows.
How to Make
- Prep – Preheat oven and line jelly roll pan with parchment paper, aluminum foil or use baking spray for easy cleanup.
- Make Toffee – Line sheet with a single layer of crackers. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter. Bring to a boil and pour over saltines.
- Bake – Mixture will melt and bubble.
- Top – Melt white chocolate in incremements stirring in between until smooth. Remove crackers from oven and pour chocolate over the top. Spread until smooth. OR top warm mixture with chocolate chips and spread with a spatula. Immediately sprinkle with candies, sprinkles or marshmallows.
- Break – Once toffee has cooled and set, cut or break into pieces.
Shortcut
Use white chocolate chips to eliminate melting chocolate in the microwave. Simply sprinkle chips onto crackers immediately after removing from the oven and spread using a spatula.
How to Store
- Room Temperature – Store in an airtight container up to 4 days at room temperature.
- Refrigerate – Store in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

Tips
- Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the layers.
- Refrigerate to set even faster.
