We’re making Valentine’s Day just a little sweeter with this saltine cracker toffee!
Red, White, and…Pink! The perfect Valentine’s Treat.
Valentine’s Day is coming and all the moms of younger kids know what that means…fighting with your kids to sign their names on their cute little Valentine’s cards. 😉
But what you maybe forgot to consider was the sweet treats to make up for it!
Our Valentine’s Day Cracker Toffee takes my favorite saltine cracker toffee and dresses it up with white chocolate and pink and red m&m candies.
The toffee mixture sounds a little intimidating, but honestly – it’s brown sugar and butter boiled together on the stove. It couldn’t be simpler and there’s no candy thermometer needed!
These come together to be just a little bit salty thanks to the crackers and the perfect amount of sweet from the toffee, white chocolate, and candy.
We can’t get enough of these sweet treats!
♥ What We Love About This Recipe:
- Simple: This recipe is so easy to make with just a few simple ingredients!
- Versatile: You’ve probably seen our Christmas Crack recipe – this is the same, but dressed up for Valentine’s Day. You can really use any color of m&ms.
- Make Ahead: This cracker toffee will easily last for 1-2 weeks at room temperature and even longer in the fridge.
Ingredient Notes:
Saltine Crackers – We use regular saltine crackers, but many people enjoy graham crackers or Ritz crackers in place of the saltines.
Valentine’s M&M Candies – You can find Cupid’s Mix m&ms at just about any store. Switch up the colors for any holiday.
White Chocolate Chips – We like the flavor of the white chocolate but it also makes a great contrast with the red and pink colored M&Ms. You can swap in milk or dark chocolate if you prefer.
Toffee – The simple homemade toffee is prepared with just brown sugar and butter! Don’t be intimidated – it’s so easy to make.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step by Step:
Add the butter and brown sugar to a small sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes exactly.
Place the crackers in an even layer in a parchment lined sheet pan and pour the toffee mixture over the top. Pop this in the oven for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the top and return to the oven for just 1 minute.
Sprinkle the candies over the white chocolate and let it firm up. We pop this in the freezer for about 20 minutes before cutting.
Helpful Tip!
Don’t burn the chocolate chips. They will hold their shape no matter how long you leave them in the oven, so don’t wait for them to melt. Once you pull them from the oven, use an off-set spatula or a butterknife to spread the chocolate out across the crackers.
Storage Instructions:
You can store saltine cracker toffee either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. It’ll last a week or two at room temperature in a covered container, and even longer in the fridge.
You could also freeze these treats! Place the individual squares on a baking sheet and freeze for an hour before transferring to a freezer safe bag and storing for up to a few months.
We like to package these up in Valentine’s Day boxes and share with friends.
