Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ sleeves (54) saltine crackers
- 1 cup (237 ml / 8 fl oz) brown sugar
- 1 cup (227 g / 8 oz) butter
- 12 oz (340 g) semi sweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate chips
- 2 cups (480 ml / 16 fl oz) strawberries, chopped and patted dry
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven rack centrally and preheat to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet completely with aluminum foil.
- Cracker Base: Arrange saltine crackers in a precise, single layer without overlapping across the foil-lined pan.
- Toffee Creation: In a medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir consistently until the mixture transforms into a smooth, bubbling caramel-like blend, maintaining a vigorous boil for 3 minutes.
- Chocolate Coating: Pour the molten toffee evenly over crackers, ensuring complete coverage. Bake for 7 minutes until glossy and slightly bubbling.
- Chocolate Application: Immediately scatter semi-sweet chocolate chips across the hot toffee. Allow natural heat to initiate melting, then use an offset spatula to smooth into a uniform layer.
- Decorative Touches: Sprinkle white chocolate chips randomly over the semi-sweet chocolate. Create a marbled effect by gently dragging a toothpick through both chocolate varieties.
- Strawberry Finale: Pat strawberry pieces dry and distribute evenly across the chocolate surface. Gently press to ensure adherence.
- Chilling and Serving: Refrigerate for 1 hour to set completely. Break into irregular, rustic pieces using hands or a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Cracker Placement Precision: Arrange saltines tightly without gaps to create a perfect base for even toffee distribution.
- Temperature Control Critical: Watch caramel mixture carefully during 3-minute boiling to prevent burning and achieve ideal texture.
- Moisture Management: Thoroughly dry strawberries to prevent water interference with chocolate setting and maintain crisp texture.
- Chocolate Swirling Technique: Use light toothpick touch when creating marbled effect to ensure delicate, artistic chocolate pattern.
