- Serves one, hee hee, two if you share!
Tips:
- Use fresh saltine crackers for the best results. Stale crackers will not absorb the melted butter and sugar mixture as well, and the candy will be less flavorful.
- Be careful not to overcook the butter and sugar mixture. If the mixture is too dark, it will taste burnt and the candy will be too hard.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the butter and sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the mixture forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- Work quickly when dipping the crackers in the melted butter and sugar mixture. The mixture will start to harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to get all of the crackers coated.
- If you want to add nuts or other toppings to the candy, do so immediately after dipping the crackers in the melted butter and sugar mixture. The toppings will stick to the candy better while it is still wet.
- Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces. If you try to break the candy while it is still warm, it will be too soft and sticky.
Conclusion:
Saltine cracker candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a candy that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give saltine cracker candy a try. You won't be disappointed!
