Helpful Tips For You!
Use unsalted butter– Since Saltines are already salty, using unsalted butter helps balance the flavors perfectly.
Cool in the fridge– To speed up the cooling process and help the toffee set properly, you can place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes after it’s done.
Add toppings creatively– While pecans are great, try experimenting with other toppings like crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or even mini marshmallows for a festive twist.
