“I can’t have this recipe in the house because there’s no such thing as self control when it comes to this stuff.
This simple recipe transforms ordinary saltine crackers into a sweet and irresistible treat with the flavors of churros. The buttery, cinnamon-sugar topping and melted white chocolate create a delightful combination of textures and tastes.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Saltine Crackers | 2-3 sleeves |
| Granulated Sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Cinnamon | 1 1/2 teaspoons |
| Butter | 1 cup (2 sticks) |
| Brown Sugar | 1 cup |
| White Chocolate Chips | 1 (12 oz) bag |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and cook over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Once bubbling, cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Immediately pour the hot butter-sugar mixture over the crackers. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the sauce if needed.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and darkening in color.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over the hot crackers.
- Allow the white chocolate chips to melt for about 5 minutes.
- Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
- Working quickly, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the melted chocolate before it solidifies.
- Allow the candy to fully cool for about 30-60 minutes.
- Break the cooled candy into bite-sized pieces.
- Store the Churro Cracker Candy in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
