Not Your Mom’s Layered Toffee Bars

layered toffee bars crackers

Here’s the thing about these layered toffee bars: you think you’ve tried them before, but you haven’t.

Layer after layer after layer of creamy caramel and crispy butter crackers topped with milk chocolate… These bars are rich, but not so rich that you don’t find yourself “accidentally” eating six of them in a sitting. (That was a tricky double negative. What I mean is I definitely do eat six of them in a sitting, and often.)

They are bad for the diet, but great for the happiness.

These are very similar to the popular “Christmas Crack,” which is made from saltine crackers, caramel, and chocolate. But these bump that recipe up a notch with – count them – six layers of caramel and club crackers.

Here’s how you make it!

Layered Toffee Bars Digest

  • Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Place Club crackers over the bottom of the pan, covering it completely. (I used 25-30 crackers. I broke some to fit the small gaps at the ends.
  • In a saucepan, mix a can of sweetened condensed milk (not the same as evaporated milk, but you know that, right? Unlike the Walmart shopper who thought that was an acceptable substitute…), 1 stick of butter, and 1/4 cup milk. Cook and stir until boiling. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. (Your arm may fall off. Mine did.)
  • Pour 1/3 of this caramel mixture over the crackers in the pan. (If you measure it poorly it’s really not a big deal.) My caramel had little dark bits in it, as though some pieces had burned just a little. So I poured the caramel through a strainer.
  • Layer more club crackers over the top to cover completely. Cover with half the remaining caramel sauce.
  • Layer crackers and caramel one more time.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave a bag of milk chocoalte chips (12 oz.) at 30 second intervals until they are melted and smooth. Quickly spread the milk chocolate over the top of the caramel bars. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 3-12 hours. They keep for many days in the refrigerator and, like revenge, are best served cold.
  • Cut into small squares because if you eat six large squares you might feel gross. Also, see if you can make less of a mess when you cut them than I did. (Good luck.)

Enjoy!
