My 4-Ingredient Christmas Pretzel Toffee Is Always the First to Disappear at Holiday Parties

You can always count on seeing at least one large tray of Christmas toffee at a holiday party, and there’s a good explanation as to why. Christmas toffee, also sometimes called saltine toffee, is a delightfully simple and extremely tasty treat that is likely much easier to make than any holiday cookie.

While this recipe is often made with regular saltine crackers or even buttery Ritz crackers, what if I told you there was a better, more creative way to make it at home that’s equally if not more delicious? Yes, when a recipe works well you often don’t want to change it, but this year, you should consider using pretzel sticks to make Christmas toffee instead of the usual saltines!

Saltine crackers act as a good base for traditional Christmas toffee, but they aren’t the most flavorful and they are relatively delicate in texture. Ritz crackers are much more rich but they don’t offer the same structure and texture of a crisp pretzel stick.
