You are probably familiar with the legendary cracker toffee candy by this point. It’s a favorite around the holidays, and for good reason. The combo of sweet and salty is absolutely irresistible and the recipe is easy enough for any home cook to master (something that can’t be said about many candy recipes!). We’ve made many different versions over the years, but our latest flavor twist truly blew it outta the water: Churro Cracker Candy!



I am a huge fan of all things cinnamon, and churros are definitely a top five fav. And when they’re dipped in chocolate or caramel sauce? Even better. This recipe captures those flavors in one bite-sized, crunchy treat. The base layer of saltine crackers offer that buttery taste and hint of salt. Complimented by the classic caramel-y toffee layer and a smear of white chocolate, this treat hits all the right notes. Last, but certainly not least, a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar tops it all off. Is your mouth watering yet?


Let the candy fully cool, then break it into small pieces so it’s easy to enjoy. Add this treat to your holiday cookie plate, bring it to a tailgate as a sweet snack, or just munch on a piece whenever a sugar craving strikes. It’s simple, sweet, and guaranteed to be a big hit anywhere ya bring it! Give the recipe a try and you’ll see what all the fuss is about.

Churro Cracker Candy
Yield(s): Serves 10-12
25m prep time
Ingredients
- 2-3 sleeves saltine crackers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Arrange saltines in an even layer, covering the whole sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and then add the brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble.
- Once bubbling, cook for an additional 2 minutes then immediately pour the sauce over the crackers. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the sauce if needed.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and darkening in color.
- Remove sheet from oven and immediately sprinkle white chocolate chips on top. Allow chips to melt for about 5 minutes, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
- Working quickly, sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the chocolate before it solidifies.
- Allow candy to fully cool for about 30-60 minutes before breaking into bite-sized pieces.
- Store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
