How to make ritz cracker toffee
Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place around 50 ritz crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan on the stove, melt the butter and brown sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once it is boiling, stir the mixture constantly for 2 – 3 minutes, until thick.
There is no need for a candy thermometer for this recipe.
Step 3: Pour the toffee mixture over the ritz crackers, and use a rubber spoon or spatula to spread it out evenly.
Step 4: Bake the ritz crackers with toffee for 5 minutes, until bubbly on top.
Step 5: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the toffee covered ritz crackers.
Allow the chocolate chips to set for a few minutes to melt, then use a rubber spatula to spread the chocolate out evenly.
Step 6: Place the ritz toffee in the fridge or freezer for an hour or two, until the chocolate is set. Use your hands to break the toffee into pieces.
Recipe Tip
Store any leftovers in the freezer in an airtight bag or container for the best texture. You can serve this at room temperature, but if your room is quite warm the chocolate may start to melt.
If you are a fan of salty sweet treats, this ritz dessert is for you.
Buttery ritz crackers are my favorite, and go so well with this sweet dessert!

Notes
Nutrition
Can I use town house crackers instead?
I think that would be good!
I made it with white chocolate instead of real chocolate, OMG SOOOO GOOD!!!
yum!!
Mine didnt turn out gummy or chewy, but they aren’t crunchy either?
Did I do something wrong?
Did you alter the recipe at all?
Should I sprinkle with salt as well?
Flaked sea salt would be a delicious addition!
Well, I’m on my fourth pan now.
It’s pretty incredible!
I suppose I should have shared more than just the one pan that I managed to force myself to share.
Maybe next time. 😉
Awesome dessert. Made it twice now. Easy, quick and delicious. Doesn’t last long. Gone in no time!
This Ritz Cracker Toffee is great and highly addicting! So super easy to make!
wouldn’t it be just as easy to melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and pour the melted chocolate over the crackers?
No, that would actually take longer! When you sprinkle the chips over the top, the heat from the oven baking it melts them for you!
