Introduction

Cracker Toffee Truffles are a delightful no-bake treat combining the rich caramel flavor of toffee with the satisfying crunch of club crackers, all coated in smooth dark chocolate. These bite-sized truffles are perfect for parties or a sweet snack anytime you crave something indulgent.

A white cake stand holds a pile of about fifteen shiny dark chocolate-covered round treats stacked in a loose pyramid shape. Each piece is glossy with a smooth, slightly uneven surface that catches the light, making them look rich and dense. The treats are uniform in size, with soft reflections on their chocolate coating. The background is a white marbled texture with a rustic wooden surface beneath the stand. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2/3 cup evaporated milk
70–80 club crackers
2 cups dark chocolate chips or wafers

Instructions

Step 1: In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, evaporated milk, and brown sugar.
Step 2: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3: Boil for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4: While the mixture boils, line a 9×13-inch pan with one layer of club crackers, placing them with the salted side facing up.
Step 5: Count how many crackers you used and prepare two more layers with the same number.
Step 6: When the 7 minutes are up, pour half of the caramel mixture evenly over the first layer of crackers.
Step 7: Place the second layer of crackers on top of the caramel layer.
Step 8: Pour the remaining caramel mixture over the second cracker layer and spread it out evenly.
Step 9: Add the third layer of crackers on top.
Step 10: Chill the layered crackers in the refrigerator until the caramel sets completely.
Step 11: Once set, crush the layered crackers in a food processor until finely broken into small bits.
Step 12: Scoop the crushed mixture into small balls about 3/4 inch round and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Step 13: While the truffles chill, melt the dark chocolate chips or wafers in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
Step 14: Remove the truffles from the fridge and dip each one individually into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Return each dipped truffle to the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 15: Once all truffles are coated, place the tray back in the fridge to let the chocolate set for about 15 minutes. Enjoy your delicious Cracker Toffee Truffles!

Tips & Variations

For a different flavor, try using milk chocolate or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
Adding a pinch of sea salt on top after dipping can enhance the toffee’s sweet and salty balance.
If you don’t have a food processor, place the layered crackers in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Store truffles in an airtight container between parchment layers to prevent sticking.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month and thaw in the fridge before serving. When ready to eat, let them come to room temperature for a few minutes for the best texture and flavor.

How to Serve

The chocolate coating is smooth and dark, covering the whole candy. Another whole chocolate bite sits on a white scalloped-edged plate with a glossy surface below the hand. The background is a white marbled texture with a white cake stand blurred in the upper part of the image. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use different crackers instead of club crackers?

Yes, you can experiment with saltine crackers or buttery crackers, but keep in mind the flavor and texture will change slightly. Club crackers are preferred for their sturdy texture and mild saltiness.

Is it necessary to boil the caramel mixture for exactly 7 minutes?

The 7-minute boil ensures the caramel reaches the right consistency for coating the crackers and setting properly. Boiling less time may result in a runnier mixture, while longer could make it too thick.
