Ingredients
Scale
Cracker Toffee Base
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 40 soda crackers
Chocolate Topping
- 6 oz white chocolate candy melts
- 6 oz milk chocolate candy melts
- ½ cup Mini Eggs, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Crackers: Place the soda crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire pan to create a sturdy base for the toffee.
- Make Toffee: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir continuously. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and continue boiling for 2–3 minutes while stirring constantly to thicken and caramelize the toffee.
- Pour Toffee Over Crackers: Carefully pour the hot toffee evenly over the soda crackers, ensuring each cracker is covered to bind the base and add sweetness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. This step helps the toffee soak into the crackers and solidify slightly.
- Add Chocolate: Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the white and milk chocolate candy melts over the hot toffee layer. Let them melt for a few minutes, then use the back of a spoon to swirl the two chocolates together, creating a marbled effect.
- Top With Mini Eggs: While the melted chocolate is still warm, evenly sprinkle the chopped Mini Eggs on top for added texture, color, and festive flavor.
- Cool and Set: Allow the pan to cool to room temperature to let the chocolate firm up slightly, then transfer to the refrigerator for about an hour to fully set and harden the toffee.
- Serve: Once completely firm, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and enjoy this crunchy, sweet treat perfect for sharing during Easter or any special occasion.
Notes
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent any toffee from spilling over in the oven.
- Keep stirring the toffee while boiling to prevent burning and ensure a smooth caramel.
- Make sure to add the chocolate while the toffee is still hot so it melts properly for easy swirling.
- Store leftover toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
