What You need To Spider Web Toffee
It’s basically the same thing as making saltine toffee, you just decorate it differently. Make a shopping list ahead of time mean. so you won’t be stuck halfway through the recipe without chocolate chips or brown sugar. With everything gathered before you start, the process is smooth and quick.
- saltine crackers
- butter
- brown sugar
- chocolate chips
- white melting chocolate
You will also need:
- toothpicks
- foil
- baking sheet
- plastic bag (for piping)
- optional spider rings
Change It Up!
If you want to change it up, try flipping the chocolates: use white chocolate as the base layer and semi-sweet to draw the webs. It creates the same creepy design but with a fun new contrast.
You can also sub in graham crackers for the saltines. It’s good, but I do like the saltiness of the saltines better myself. if you do use graham crackers, sprinkle a little salt over the top of the chocolate before it sets. Your tastes buds will thank you!
Storing
Store saltine toffee in a cool, dark place. The pieces hold their crunch for a few days, though chances are they’ll be gone long before then.
