How to Make Red, White, & Blue Cracker Toffee: An Easy Patriotic Dessert!
The first step is to take a large sheet pan and cover it by using aluminum foil, cooking spray, or a silicone baking mat. (I like this Silicone Baking Mat in my kitchen which makes clean up a breeze!)
The second step is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then single layer one sleeve of saltine crackers until the sheet pan is full.
Next, you will add the butter and brown sugar to a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil on medium heat. When the mixture begins boiling, continue stirring to prevent burning. Boil for 3 minutes or until it reaches 280 degrees if you’re using a digital thermometer.
Pour mixture on to saltine crackers and completely coat each cracker.
Place into oven and cook for approximately 5-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the almond bark in the microwave according to the package instructions.
Remove from the crackers from the oven when the toffee stops bubbling and looks like it is beginning to harden.
Spread the almond bark all over the crackers until fully covered. Then add sprinkles!
Allow pan to set on counter until it has reached room temperature. Break apart the crackers and then place the pan into the refrigerator to continue cooling.
Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
