Ingredients

40 saltines
⅔ cup butter
⅓ cup brown sugar packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips milk or dark chocolate
Optional toppings of choice - see below for ideas

For the potato chip flavor:

⅔ - 1 cup lightly crushed potato chips

For the S'mores flavor:

⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs
½ cup dried marshmallow bits or regular mini marshmallows

Peppermint Bark:

½ cup crushed candy canes
¼ cup white chocolate chips melted (optional drizzle)
½ tablespoon of neutral oil
Plain version topped with xmas sprinkles

Cranberry Pistachio:

⅓ cup chopped dried cranberries
⅓ cup chopped pistachios
Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking tray with foil and grease lightly. Line the baking tray with the crackers, breaking as needed to fill the space.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add in the butter, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring only once, for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Drizzle the caramel evenly over the crackers. Bake for 5 minutes until it’s bubbling all around the surface.
Immediately sprinkle with the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes (I like to turn the oven off and let it sit in the oven for a few minutes), and then use a spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer once it’s melted.
Top with any desired toppings. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes and then chill for 1 hour. Break into pieces and ENJOY!

Storage Instructions

Store the cracker candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extra snap. Freeze for longer storage — just separate layers with parchment to prevent sticking.
