Indulge in the perfect blend of sweet and salty with this easy-to-make Ritz Cracker Toffee recipe. This delightful treat is not only a crowd-pleaser but also a cinch to whip up, making it an ideal addition to your dessert repertoire.

A Symphony of Flavors and Textures:

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Ritz crackers
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles for topping

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Base: Lay out a package of Ritz crackers on a baking sheet, creating a foundation for the upcoming layers of deliciousness.
  2. Crafting the Toffee Magic: In a saucepan, melt 2 sticks of butter and add 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stirring continuously over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for about 7 minutes until it transforms into a delightful light brown hue.
  3. Infuse the Elegance: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla, infusing the toffee with a touch of elegance. Pour this heavenly concoction over the awaiting Ritz crackers.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven set at 350 degrees. Allow the toffee to bake for approximately 13 minutes or until it reaches a state of bubbly, golden brown perfection.
  5. Chocolate Bliss: As the toffee-infused crackers emerge, sprinkle 2 cups of chocolate chips over the top. Wait for five minutes, letting the warmth melt the chocolate, and then spread it evenly.
  6. A Splash of Color: Elevate your creation with a burst of color by adding your favorite sprinkles. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also introduces an extra layer of joy.
  7. The Finishing Touch: Let the toffee cool and harden for a couple of hours. Once set, break it into irresistible bite-sized morsels.

A Culinary Symphony:

This Ritz Cracker Toffee is more than a recipe; it’s a symphony of flavors and textures. The initial crunch of Ritz crackers yields to the rich, buttery toffee, culminating in a decadent chocolatey finale. The addition of sprinkles introduces a playful element, making these toffee bites perfect for any celebration.
