Peanut Butter Saltine Toffee is one of my favorite holiday treats. We make it every year because it is quick and easy, uses really simple ingredients, and everyone loves it!
It’s layers of crispy saltine crackers coated in butter and brown sugar (and baked to create the toffee part), peanut butter, and chocolate. All topped with cute holiday sprinkles! Perfect for holiday cookie tins or to leave out for Santa!

There is nothing wrong with blogging in the moment what your heart (and stomach) desire. It’s the story of my life. I always wished I was one of those plan ahead bloggers, but that’s just not me. And this toffee? I am absolutely loving the peanut butter layer inside there. Now I want to run to the kitchen and make toffee instead of catching up on the blogging I should have done yesterday :-)

Love this! Seriously taking it to a whole new level. And I am so very glad to hear things are better this time when your husband came home. I can only imagine how much the war affected him last time and in turn affected you and your relationship. Take your time and enjoy being together. The blog will always be there!

I’m not a big fan of eating Saltine crackers as is either, but I bet the saltiness goes really great with the sweetness!
