Description
Crisp saltine crackers topped with chewy caramel, smooth chocolate, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect salty-sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 saltine crackers (or 24 square crackers)
- 170 g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 150 g (3/4 cup packed) light brown sugar
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) light corn syrup
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- 225 g (8 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2–1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- (Optional) 50 g (1/2 cup) chopped toasted pecans or almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer.
- In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, then simmer for 3 minutes.
- Pour caramel over crackers and bake for 5–7 minutes until bubbly.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top, let sit for 1–2 minutes, then spread into an even layer. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until firm, then cut into squares.
Notes
Watch the caramel closely to avoid scorching. For gluten-free, substitute with gluten-free crackers. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature or 10 days in the refrigerator.
