Who actually knows what toffee is? Before making this recipe, I thought maybe it was another word for caramel, but I was so wrong: toffee is essentially just sugar and butter, while caramel can be a mixture of sugar and water, cream or milk; sometimes it's just sugar! Toffee is cooked to 300 degrees F, while caramel is cooked to about 248 degrees F. Got it? Good. My dreams of learning to make other candy floated away the moment I took my first bite of Saltine toffee. Sweet and crunchy and buttery and salty and chocolatey, it’s honestly everything I’ve ever wanted in my mouth all together in one neat package. And it smells INCREDIBLE. If there was a way to make Saltine toffee perfume, I’d probably have more suitors than I’d know what to do with. And I can’t stress enough how unbelievably easy it is to make! It takes all of 15 minutes to assemble and then it goes into the fridge. SO easy. And when placed in a tin it makes the cutest homemade gift! It does not disappoint.
