Equipment

Ingredients

  • 24 Ritz crackers
  • 1 cup butter unsalted
  • 1 cup brown sugar dark
  • 14 oz white chocolate chips or almond bark 2 bags
  • 2 Tbsp Valentine sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • If using metal muffin tins, lightly grease them or line with parchment or silicone liners. Silicone muffin tins work best for easy removal.
  • Place one Ritz cracker into each muffin cavity.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to boil for 2–3 minutes, bubbling and caramelizing.
  • Remove from heat and drop a tablespoon-sized amount of the toffee mixture onto each Ritz cracker using a cookie scoop.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately top each Ritz with 1–2 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
  • Once the chocolate softens, spread it gently with the back of a spoon. If needed, return the tray to the warm oven for one minute to help melt the chocolate.
  • Top with Valentine sprinkles.
  • Place in the fridge to cool and fully set before removing from the muffin cups and storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use a silicone muffin tin without liners for best results—the cookies pop right out.
  • Make sure the butter and brown sugar come to a full boil and cook for 2–3 minutes for proper toffee texture.
  • Use a cookie scoop for even portions and cleaner assembly.
  • If using liners, choose parchment or silicone to prevent sticking.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before removing them so they set properly.
