The ingredients used to make saltines can vary slightly depending on the brand, but they typically include enriched flour, vegetable oil, yeast, salt, and malted barley flour. Some brands may also include additional ingredients such as sugar, corn syrup, or leavening agents. This is a pretty simple recipe to make so you can absolutely have your kids help in the kitchen. Here are some tasks they can help with: Cook Caramel: In a small saucepan , melt the butter and add brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. When the temperature of the caramel reaches 270-290°F, remove from heat and pour it over the saltines. With the help of a spatula , spread the caramel evenly over the saltines.

Remove the top piece of parchment paper and slice dough into small 1.5-inch squares or shape of choice. A candy thermometer isn’t required (this recipe is very forgiving), but if you’d like to use one, the toffee mixture should be boiled until it reaches a temperature between 270°F and 290°F.If using the toffee bits, sprinkle evenly on top of the melted chocolate. Let the candy cool until room temperature, and then move to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight. Chocolate Chips: Semisweet chips create the top layer of this candy. I like to use a higher quality chip like Guittard or Ghirardelli for this recipe because they melt very well. Be mindful about where you store them and try to keep them away from plain view. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

Some people get better results melting the butter with the brown sugar already added. I personally don’t do this but others have recommended it. This book will also provide you with enough motivation to test out various ingredients since you will find the comprehensive index to be extremely helpful. However, to ensure you can munch on them without worrying about your sodium intake, you need to make sure they are made with the right ingredients and aren’t loaded with salt and sugar. You will enjoy this book, the tested recipes are easy, the ingredients are really easy to get plus they do not take long to create. Foodlovers choose Saltine Greats for information and inspiration.

Let the toffee set up before breaking apart: It really needs to harden all the way before you break it up. If you start too early, it might be too soft. In a medium sized saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook for about 5 minutes. No need to be super precise here. When you break the Saltine Toffee press down on the chocolate instead of up on the toffee. It will help keep the toffee and chocolate in tact. Cut Dough into Squares: Remove the top piece of parchment paper and slice dough into small 1.5-inch squares. Make sure you set timers for the boiling and baking. I’ve made that mistake in the past and this recipe can get ruined very easily. Just set a timer and trust the process.
