Salted Toffee Oyster Crackers - A layer of oyster crackers covered with toffee sauce & baked - a sweet, salty, crunchy snack.

Provided by Susie Gall

Categories     Snack / Nibbles / Appetizer / Dessert

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups Oyster Crackers
½ cup dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or other seasoning - optional
½ cup salted butter
Coarse Sea Salt or kosher salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Line a baking pan with aluminum foil then spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a medium sized, heavy-bottomed, saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using). While stirring gently and very slowly, bring the mixture to a boil slowly and over steady heat. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature. Continue stirring very slowly and gently (it is a slow process). Boil 3-4 minutes or until the thermometer registers 270°-290°F and becomes lighter in color and "fluffier". Turn off the heat and add the oyster crackers."
  • Now, working quickly so the brown sugar/butter mixture doesn't set up, pour the toffee/oyster crackers onto the prepared baking sheet and try to spread them out to a single layer. (If it is too difficult to spread the crackers into a single layer at this point, don't worry - it will be possible in a few minutes.)
  • Sprinkle the crackers lightly with coarse sea salt or kosher salt.
  • Place the crackers on a middle rack in the hot oven and bake 2 minutes.
  • Remove the crackers from the oven and smooth them out to a single layer.
  • Place back in the oven and bake for 3 more minutes.
  • After a total 5 minutes baking time, remove from oven and place the pan on a cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Once they are cool enough to handle, pick up the edges of the aluminum foil that is under the crackers and bring the edges together so the crackers roll together.
  • Remove from the foil, break into individual pieces and place on foil or parchment paper to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container.

OYSTER CANDY



Oyster Candy image

No! It doesn't have oysters in it. It's smooth, creamy chocolate. I found it in another one of those church cookbooks I love. The recipe is simple but a bit tempermental, follow the directions carefully. I don't really know how long it takes from start to finish. It depends on how long it takes the chocolate to get to the right consistency.

OYSTER CRACKER CHOCOLATE CANDY



OYSTER CRACKER CHOCOLATE CANDY image

I TRIED THIS AT A AFTER HOLIDAY PARTY, AND I COULD NOT WAIT TO GET HOME AND MAKE IT FOR MYSELF...REASON IS I WAS TOO EMBARASSED TO SIT THERE AND EAT THE WHOLE THING....YOU TAKE ONE BITE AND YOU JUST KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT...WAIT AND SEE, YOU WILL BE AN ADDICT...OUT OF THIS WORLD...

Provided by diana mckeever @gammy63

Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup(s) butter, room temperature
1 cup(s) packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup(s) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup(s) chopped nuts (food processor works well)

Steps:

  • Line a 15x10 inch baking pan with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray..(I used butter) Place crackers on pan to cover bottom, DO NOT overlap. In a saucepan, melt butter, add the brown sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour over crackers and spread until completely covered.
  • Bake at 350* for 5 minutes. (crackers will float). Remove from oven. Turn oven off. sprinkle chocolate chips and walnuts, (or whatever nuts you like) over crackers. Return to oven until chocolate melts, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven. using a greased spatula press walnuts onto chocolate. Cut into 1" squares until warm...Cool completely and remove from Parchment/Foil...makes about 5 dozen

Tips:

  • Use fresh oyster crackers for the best flavor and texture. Stale crackers will absorb too much chocolate and become soggy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it's ready by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it's ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chocolate. Overcooked chocolate will be thick and grainy.
  • If you want a smoother chocolate coating, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave.
  • To make the chocolate candy even more festive, you can add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or dried fruit before the chocolate hardens.

Conclusion:

Oyster cracker chocolate candy is a sweet and salty treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this recipe a try.
