Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (reducing to 325°F if desired).
- Line a cookie sheet with foil.
- Arrange 35 saltine crackers in 7 rows across and 5 rows down on the prepared sheet.
- Melt 2 sticks of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar in the microwave for 4 minutes, then stir briefly.
- Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the crackers, noting it may not pour smoothly.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the toffee is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before breaking into pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking. If you don't have saltine crackers, you can substitute with graham crackers or even potato chips for a unique twist. Ensure the butter and sugar mixture is mixed well before pouring for even coverage. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary.
Serving Suggestions
Tutt's Toffee makes a delightful treat on its own or can be served alongside coffee or tea for a sweet afternoon snack. It pairs beautifully with Wilma'S Peanut Butter Fudge for a dessert platter. Consider offering it as a topping for ice cream or crumbling it over yogurt for a delicious breakfast treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar instead of brown sugar?
Yes, you can use granulated sugar, but it will slightly alter the flavor and texture. Brown sugar adds a rich, caramel-like taste that enhances the toffee. If you want a deeper flavor, consider using dark brown sugar.
What if my toffee is too hard after cooling?
If the toffee hardens excessively, it might be due to overbaking. To soften it, you can microwave individual pieces for a few seconds or let them sit at room temperature for a while. Enjoying it with a warm beverage can also help soften the texture.
Can I add nuts or chocolate to this recipe?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, can add great texture. For a chocolatey twist, sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee right after it comes out of the oven, allowing them to melt slightly before spreading them evenly.
