Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for a simple yet indulgent treat to share with your friends, family, or that special someone, look no further than Valentine’s Day Cracker Toffee. This sweet and salty confection is not only delicious but also super easy to make. With its layers of crisp crackers, buttery toffee, and melted candy & chocolate, it’s a festive, crowd-pleasing treat that looks as good as it tastes.

Based on the viral Christmas Crack recipe that we all know and love – this Valentine’s Day treat is a fun little twist! I’ve subbed out the chocolate chips with white, pink, and red candy melts to give this treat some seasonal colors that could easily be adapted to any holiday.

Valentine’s Day Cracker Toffee – Recipe Notes

  • Most recipes call for Saltine crackers and that’s totally fine. I’ve used Ritz crackers here because I had a bunch leftover from the holidays. I think it tastes just as good! Use whatever you have on hand, or whatever is cheapest. Any crunch, buttery cracker will work!
  • I used white, red, & pink candy melts, but you could easily use other colors – I think pink, white, and purple would be so cute!
  • Store this toffee in an airtight container at room temperature. It is good for 1-2 weeks.
  • Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper! This makes cleanup SO easy.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
  2. Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange crackers on baking sheet & parchment paper, set aside.
  3. Over medium heat, melt butter and mix in brown sugar in a medium sized saucepan.
  4. Continue to heat until butter mixture is bubbly.
  5. Continue heating, stirring frequently. Using a candy thermometer, heat butter and sugar mixture until it reaches 300 degrees – which is a hard crack temperature for making candy.
  6. Once toffee has reached 300 degrees, pour toffee over crackers and spread using a spatula. Sprinkle candy melts on top of toffee, and place pan in oven for 2 minutes to melt candy.
  7. Remove pan from oven and using a spatula, spread candy melts on top of the toffee.
  8. Top with extra chocolate chips and Valentines sprinkles. Allow toffee to cool completely. Once toffee has cooled and hardened, break into smaller pieces and enjoy!
