How to make halloween saltine toffee
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and line the saltines up in rows.
Step 2: Melt the butter and brown sugar in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Boil 2-3 minutes stirring constantly, until thick.
Step 3: Pour the butter/brown sugar mixture over the saltines and spread with a rubber spatula. Bake at 350 degrees for 4-5 minutes, until browned and bubbly.
Step 4: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Let the chocolate chips sit for 5 minutes, then spread with a rubber spatula evenly across the saltines
Step 5: Top the halloween crack with anything you want! We used eye candies, halloween themed sprinkles, reese’s pieces, and candy corns.
Step 6: Place the saltine toffee in the fridge until chocolate is hardened, or at least 1-2 hours. Break into pieces and serve!
If you love saltine toffee this is a great excuse to enjoy it for Halloween! Honestly, this dessert is not only adorable but so simple to make.
You could easily add any kind of halloween candy that you wanted to. Kids would love helping decorate this!
How to store leftovers
Store any leftover halloween crack candy in the freezer in a ziploc bag or airtight container. This will keep for awhile this way, so you can enjoy any leftovers over the next few weeks!

How long would you recommend freezing these?
I have frozen it for around 2-3 months!
This recipe will be much better and tastier with club crackers
I have made saltine toffee with ritz crackers, graham crackers, club crackers, saltines, and pretzels. All work great!
This was super simple….delicious….very festive looking!
I used Ritz Crackers instead of saltines and they worked as well. (I had them already)
Was made for our Halloween Party this weekend
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!
U make my day. THANK YOU!
I just made these for a Fall Harvest potluck for work. I used cinnamon graham crackers for the bottom. They came out amazing! Thanks for a great recipe!!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!!
Hi there! Should we use salted or unsalted sticks of butter? Thanks! This looks delicious!!
Either is fine honestly, but I usually use unsalted!
Made it with speciality Halloween sprinkles that had bats, eyes, mummies, hands, large glitter sugar, sprinkles – super colorful. Can’t wait to eat and share.
Yay!
Is this something that will do well sitting out all day?
I prefer the texture in the fridge or freezer, but you can also store it in an airtight container for a few days.
I messed up and put the chocolate chips on before baking it in the oven, not sure whats going to happen
You picture 2 half sticks of butter but it says 1 cup in the recipe, which is 4 half sticks. Can you clarify?
Yes, it should be 1 cup of butter. Two regular sticks/16 tablespoons. Sorry for the confusion!
