Christmas cracker toffes

 





The crackers melt in the oven with sugar and butter to form a crispy, sweet and salty toffee layer and the smoothly melting layer of white chocolate makes the whole thing perfectly round. Not only does it taste fabulous, the consistency is just amazing.


And best of all: It's child's play, goes super fast and therefore a perfect last-minute gift .


ingredients 

35-40  salt crackers 

220 g butter 

200 g of sugar

300 g (or 400 g for a thicker layer) white chocolate or couverture (works with both. And also tastes great with whole milk or dark .)

Sprinkles


preparation 


Line a small baking sheet with baking paper and preheat the oven to 170 degrees top and bottom heat.

 If your tray is significantly larger, you simply fold the baking paper up a few centimeters in front of the edge and thus reduce your area.

 Place the crackers on baking paper. Do not take more than the specified amount of crackers, otherwise the toffee will not be enough in the end.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the sugar. If your butter has cooked too long on its own, it's too hot and the sugar caramelises as soon as you add it! So bring it to the boil while stirring and let it simmer for about 2 minutes from the time it starts to boil, so that the butter and sugar can combine. 

Pour the mixture over the crackers, distribute it thoroughly and slide the tray into the oven.


Bake the whole thing for about 10 minutes, it may come out of the oven a bit soft and bubbling - it hardens in the air. 

The surface should look brown and crispy. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Now melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a water bath and spread it over the toffee layer. 

Sprinkle sprinkles on top and let the chocolate harden almost completely. This can take several hours. Cut the toffee into small pieces . Fill it in screw-top jars and give it away to your loved ones.


Packed airtight in a large screw-top jar, it lasts for 10-14 days.
