Irresistible Ingredients in Churro Crack
- Saltine crackers – These form the crisp, salty foundation that balances the sweetness beautifully.
- Butter – Melts into the brown sugar to create a rich, golden toffee base.
- Brown sugar – Adds deep, caramel flavor that pairs beautifully with the cinnamon.
- White chocolate chips – Sweet, creamy, and a dreamy contrast to the spiced sugar topping.
- Granulated sugar – Helps achieve the classic churro finish with its sandy crunch.
- Cinnamon – The heart of the flavor, adding warmth and depth to every bite.
Quick & Craveable: How to Make Churro Crack
Start by lining a baking sheet with saltine crackers for a crisp, salty base. Make a quick stovetop toffee with butter and brown sugar, pour it over the crackers, and bake until bubbly.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the hot layer with white chocolate chips and let them melt. Spread the chocolate evenly and dust with cinnamon sugar for that churro magic. Cool until set, break into pieces, and prepare for the compliments.
Sweet Tips & Crunchy Twists
For an extra churro punch, toast the cinnamon briefly before mixing with sugar—it unlocks more of its aromatic depth. If you prefer a darker, more complex sweetness, swap white chocolate for a blend of white and caramel chips. A touch of sea salt on top can balance the richness even more.
Craving a spicy twist? Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder to the cinnamon sugar mix for a sweet heat kick that surprises and delights. Churro Crack is endlessly customizable, so let your sweet tooth lead the way.
Storing Churro Crack: Keep It Fresh & Fabulous
Once fully cooled and set, store Churro Crack in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep it snappy, avoid humid environments.
If you’d like to freeze it, layer the pieces with parchment paper to prevent sticking and store in a freezer-safe container. Let it come to room temperature before serving—no reheating necessary.
Churro Cracker Candy
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 35 –40 saltine crackers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 10×15-inch baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single, contiguous layer on the prepared sheet. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter and brown sugar, whisking continuously until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. Maintain the boil for a few minutes, then immediately pour the hot toffee mixture over the arranged crackers, spreading it evenly. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 4 minutes. As the toffee bakes, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and reserve. Remove the pan from the oven and promptly scatter the white chocolate chips over the hot toffee-coated crackers. Let the chips sit for a moment to soften, then spread the melted chocolate evenly with an offset spatula or knife. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture uniformly over the melted chocolate. Allow the dessert to set and harden fully—placing it in the refrigerator can expedite this process. Once firm, cut into desired portions and serve.
