Christmas Cracker Candy
Enjoy this delightful Christmas Cracker Candy that combines saltine crackers, caramel, and chocolate for a festive treat.
Equipment
- 10x15-inch jelly roll pan
- medium sized saucepan
- microwave safe bowl
- spatula
Ingredients
- 28 to 35 pieces saltine crackers about one sleeve, enough to line your tray
- 1 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter (225g or 2 sticks)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate (10 to 12 ounces), chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with nonstick aluminum foil, and place the saltine crackers in a single layer on the bottom.
- Place the brown sugar, butter, and salt in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil. Stir in the vanilla.
- Pour the hot brown sugar mixture over the saltine crackers and spread to evenly coat.
- Move the pan to the oven and bake for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.
- Remove the pan from the oven, let it cool for 1 minute, then pour the melted chocolate over the crackers and spread evenly.
- Chill the crackers overnight in the refrigerator.
- Once cool, remove from the pan and peel away the foil. Cut into snack-sized pieces.
Notes
Optionally, add ½ cup of chopped nuts or coconut flakes on top of the melted chocolate. Storing the candy in an airtight container in the fridge will keep it fresh for about a week.
