SODA CRACKER CANDY

Crunchy, buttery soda crackers meet a luscious layer of rich, melt-in-your-mouth toffee, all drizzled with a perfect touch of chocolate. This GLUTEN FREE Soda Cracker Candy is the irresistible snack you didn’t know you needed! It’s a decadent treat that everyone can enjoy—whether you have dietary restrictions or just love a good snack. Sweet, salty, and completely addictive—this is candy at its best.

Why we love Soda Cracker Candy:

The perfect sweet and salty combo. The contrast between the rich toffee, creamy chocolate, and the crispy, salty crackers creates an irresistible flavor profile that satisfies multiple cravings at once.

Simple yet delicious! With just 4 ingredients—soda crackers, brown sugar, butter and chocolate—it's a simple treat that packs a big flavor punch. It's easy to make but feels like a gourmet indulgence.

I grew up enjoying soda cracker candy! The sweet, salty, and crunchy treat brings back warm memories of simpler times. Now it's a family tradition that my kids enjoy during the holidays.

Ingredients 

  • Salt Crackers (also known as Table Crackers) -   Soda crackers provide a crisp, crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth toffee and melted chocolate layers. This crunch is key to the appeal of soda cracker candy, giving each bite a satisfying bite and balance of textures. The crackers also have a mild flavor which helps enhance the sweetness of the toffee and chocolate. My favorite crackers to use for this recipe are the Schar table crackers. 
  • Brown sugar - Brown sugar contains molasses, which gives it a distinctive, caramel-like flavor that enhances the toffee’s taste. This added depth brings out a rich, warm sweetness that complements the salty crunch of the soda crackers and the smooth chocolate, creating a well-rounded flavor profile. For DAIRY FREE my two favorite butters are Miyokos (which is cashew based) and Melt Organics. 
  • Butter - When butter is combined with sugar, it helps to create a silky, smooth texture in the toffee. This smoothness allows the toffee to melt evenly and coat the soda crackers perfectly, without being too thick or grainy. 
  • Chocolate Chips - Chocolate chips are designed to melt quickly and evenly, making them incredibly convenient for candy-making. Their small, uniform size ensures that they melt smoothly and evenly over the toffee, creating a consistent, glossy layer of chocolate. This helps save time compared to chopping a bar of chocolate.
