Salted Caramel Cracker Bites Recipe
These Salted Caramel Cracker Bites are the ultimate sweet-and-salty treat. Buttery round crackers are coated in rich homemade caramel, topped with melted chocolate, and finished with a touch of sea salt.
Ingredients
- 40 buttery round crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange 40 buttery round crackers in a tight, even layer.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter. Add 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Stir constantly until smooth and bubbling. Let it boil for 3–4 minutes, stirring the whole time, until thickened.
- Carefully pour the hot caramel over the crackers. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, covering every cracker.
- Bake for 5 minutes. The caramel should bubble—this means it’s setting.
- Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the caramel. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then spread into a smooth layer with a spatula.
- While the chocolate is still warm, lightly sprinkle sea salt across the top. Let the tray cool completely, then break into bite-sized pieces and enjoy.
