Each bar has three layers, starting with a smooth dark brown chocolate layer on top, a middle layer of pale beige cracker or wafer, and a bottom layer of rich golden caramel. The chocolate layer is glossy with slight texture waves, while the caramel layer looks soft and gooey, contrasting with the crumbly middle layer.

Ingredients

  • 1 box Club Crackers
  • 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing the edges to hang over the sides, and spray the foil with non-stick spray.
  2. Step 2: Arrange a layer of Club Crackers evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Step 3: In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, and milk. Stir frequently as the butter melts.
  4. Step 4: Once the butter has melted, increase heat to medium-high and cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  5. Step 5: Pour one-third of the caramel mixture over the cracker layer and spread it evenly.
  6. Step 6: Add another layer of Club Crackers over the caramel, then pour half of the remaining caramel on top and spread evenly.
  7. Step 7: Top with a final layer of Club Crackers, pour the last of the caramel over them, and spread evenly.
  8. Step 8: Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  9. Step 9: Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top caramel layer.
  10. Step 10: Refrigerate the bars until the chocolate hardens completely.
  11. Step 11: When ready to serve, lift the bars out using the foil edges, invert them onto parchment paper with the chocolate side down, and cut into squares for cleaner edges.

Tips & Variations

  • Use salted butter to add a subtle savory contrast to the sweet caramel layers.
  • Try dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a less sweet, more intense chocolate flavor.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt over the melted chocolate before refrigerating for added texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the toffee bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be kept at room temperature for a day or two if your kitchen is cool. To soften slightly before serving, let them sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.

How to Serve

The image shows several square pieces of a layered dessert on a white marbled surface. Each piece has three main layers: a top layer of smooth dark brown chocolate with slight wave patterns, a middle layer of light tan caramel with a sticky, glossy texture, and a bottom layer of light-colored wafer with a crumbly texture. The pieces are cut cleanly but some edges show slight crumbling. Crumbs are scattered around the dessert pieces, adding to the homemade feel. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cracker?

Yes, though the classic buttery flavor of Club Crackers works best. You can try similar buttery or salted crackers, but avoid overly flavored or sweet varieties to maintain balance.

Why do I need to turn the bars upside down to cut them?

Flipping the bars with the chocolate side down helps create cleaner cuts because the chocolate solidifies into a smooth surface, preventing cracking or sticking as you slice.

Description

Ingredients

Scale

Cracker Layer

  • 1 box Club Crackers

Caramel Toffee Layer

  • 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup Milk

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing the edges to hang over the sides for easy removal later. Lightly spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Crackers: Arrange a single layer of Club Crackers evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan, forming the base layer.
  3. Make Caramel Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, and milk. Stir frequently as the butter melts to ensure the ingredients combine smoothly.
  4. Cook Caramel: Once the butter has melted, increase the heat to medium-high. Continue cooking the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to help the caramel thicken properly.
  5. First Caramel Layer: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour about one-third of the caramel mixture evenly over the first layer of crackers. Spread gently to cover the crackers completely.
  6. Second Cracker Layer: Place another layer of Club Crackers over the caramel, covering it evenly.
  7. Second Caramel Layer: Pour half of the remaining caramel mixture over the second cracker layer and spread evenly to cover.
  8. Final Cracker Layer: Add the last layer of Club Crackers on top of the caramel.
  9. Final Caramel Layer: Pour the remaining caramel mixture over the final cracker layer and spread to cover evenly.
  10. Melt Chocolate: Microwave the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  11. Top with Chocolate: Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top caramel layer for a glossy, rich finish.
  12. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the bars to harden completely, which usually takes at least 2 hours.
  13. Cut and Serve: Once hardened, lift the bars out using the foil edges and turn upside down onto parchment paper. Cut into bars with the chocolate side down to achieve clean cuts.
