Easy Saltine Toffee Candy
The Easy Saltine Toffee Candy is one of our favorite treats to make around the Holidays. It is delicious and super easy to make! This year we included a bag of Easy Saltine Toffee Candy in our gifts to our neighbors! After making it we placed the candy in decorative bags and put a bow. The Easy Saltine Toffee Candy is always a hit and you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen.
Easy Saltine Toffee Candy
- 1 sleeve salted Saltine crackers
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- Sprinkles (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray jelly roll pan with non-stick spray. Place a single layer of saltine crackers on the jelly roll pan (1 sleeve).
Melt brown sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once boiling, let it boil for 3 minutes. Immediately pour over crackers and bake at 400 degrees for 6 minutes (or until bubbly).
Remove from oven and spread chocolate chips over the top of the crackers. Let stand for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate. Shake some sprinkles over the top. Cool completely in the freezer for 1 hour or until the chocolate hardens.
Remove from freezer, break into small pieces, and serve . Store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
The sprinkles are optional. You can leave the top plain or add many other great items on it (such as nuts or a drizzle of white or red chocolate) to give it an extra special touch.

Organized Chaos: Re-Organized Pantry
Kitchen Pantry
I had some motivation to clean out our white kitchen pantry recently…..we had company coming! It was time to clean out some of the stuff that was getting close to expiration and re-organize the items that go together. Plus I wanted to find out what we really had so I could re-stock with items we need before company arrived. I forgot to take a “before” picture but here is the “after” picture:
- First Shelf – Instant Strawberry & Chocolate Milk, Power Bars, Magic Straws, Raisins and Nuts
- Second Shelf – Hot Pasta Sides, Cold Pasta Sides, and Regular Pasta Noodles
- Third Shelf – Lasagna Noodles, Potatoes & Potato Mixes, Rice & Rice Mixes
- Fourth Shelf – Fruit Chews, Chips, Crackers, and Rice Cakes
It always makes me happy opening cupboards and seeing them organized. Somehow the pantry areas have a way of getting messy quickly when everyone is busy cooking (including me, ha!). One of the best parts about re-organizing is it gives me an opportunity to put the items that are expiring the soonest in front to make sure I use those first. Next step after getting the cabinets in order is to make a list of items I need at the store!
