Step-by-Step Instructions for Churro Saltine Toffee
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium heat and stir until melted and boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers and bake for 5-7 minutes until bubbly and edges brown slightly.
  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee, allowing them to soften for 2-3 minutes before spreading.

  7. Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the cinnamon-sugar topping.
  8. Allow to cool completely before breaking into bite-sized pieces.
