How To Make White Chocolate Saltine Toffee
This recipe is so simple. Even those with few kitchen skills can make it!
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F and placing your oven rack in the middle position.
Step 1
In the first step, create one layer of saltine crackers on your pan lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
Tip: Make sure your parchment paper is larger than your pan for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Next, combine the brown sugar and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil for 3 minutes.
This creates that yummy, buttery toffee! So good!
Step 3
Immediately after it’s done boiling, spread it on the saltines, evenly coating all the crackers.
Step 4
Then, place in a 400-degree F. oven for 5-6 minutes.
Once out of the oven, spread the white chocolate morsels on the top. When it’s slightly set, sprinkle the cranberries over the top! Push them in slightly to make sure they stay securely.
Cool, break into pieces, and enjoy!!
Seriously, you need to make a full tray of these and keep it around all season long!

The white chocolate chips did not melt at all. I even tried to toss it back into the oven to melt them but it turned into a worse mess. I covered it with regular chocolate and melted so that I didn't waste the whole thing but I really wanted the pretty white with the red cranberry. I actually used this recipe because I didn't want to use a double boiler. Next time I will know better

When melting chocolate for sweets, the quality of your chocolate matters, especially with white chocolate. Better quality yields the best results. If your chocolate isn't melting, you can also try adding a tiny bit of oil.
