The cracker toffee can be kept at room temperature but if the chocolate starts to get soft, move it to the refrigerator. It will keep for about a week or so, but honestly, this dessert doesn’t last that long. NOt because it spoils but because it is so good, everyone is eating it.
How to Gift Saltine Crack
I love to give food as presents. It is one of my go to present idea for teachers, neighbors, and others. It makes a great gift because everyone loves a treat. So when I make a large batch of saltine crack, I like to make a double batch to give to friends. It is an easy thing to make and since everyone loves it, everyone loves the gift. You can give this as a wonderful present and dress it up in a special way.
- Special Holiday Plastic Baggies: Especially during the holidays there are pretty decorative bags. These are a pretty and inexpensive way to give this. If you want something a little more decorative, try adding a bow.
- Christmas Tins: Like the tins that you use to get with Christmas cookies in them, you can often find these to use for giving gifts. Many big box stores have them and also, you can sometimes find them at the dollar store. When I use these types of tins, I like to add a layer of parchment paper or wax paper on the bottom and in between the layers.
There are a lot of ways to pretty this up and maybe you have a special way you like to give food gifts. It doesn’t matter how you do it, people are going to love. You might want to have the recipe ready because they will ask for it.
