Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil.
- Arrange a layer of Club crackers on the foil-lined pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine butter, margarine, and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a full rolling boil for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Immediately pour the hot butter mixture over the crackers, spreading evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges start to turn brown.
- Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the pan to a cooling surface.
- Place Hershey chocolate bars on top of the hot toffee and spread evenly as they melt.
- Sprinkle with nuts on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using all butter instead of margarine. If you want a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with crushed pretzels for added crunch. Ensure the butter mixture reaches a full boil to achieve the perfect toffee texture. For a variation, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top after baking for a sweet and savory twist.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the toffee into squares and serve as a delightful dessert or snack. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of coffee. Consider serving it alongside a slice of Blackberry Or Strawberry Cobbler for a sweet treat duo that guests will love. This toffee is perfect for holiday gatherings or as a homemade gift.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Club Cracker Toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If the toffee becomes too soft, refrigerate it briefly to regain its firmness. To enjoy it warm again, place individual pieces in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just until slightly melted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of crackers for this recipe?
Yes, you can experiment with different types of crackers, but Club crackers provide a great balance of flavor and texture. Saltine or Ritz crackers can also work, but the taste and crunch may differ slightly.
How do I know when the toffee is done baking?
The toffee is done when the edges start to turn golden brown, usually around 8 to 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on it, as overbaking can result in a hard texture rather than a chewy one.
Can I add other toppings to the toffee?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your toffee with toppings like crushed pretzels, coconut flakes, or even drizzles of white chocolate. Just ensure that any additional toppings are added while the chocolate is still melted for better adhesion.
