Servings: 35 pieces
Ingredients
- 28 to 35 saltine crackers (about one sleeve, enough to line your tray)
- 1 cup (220 g) packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (225 g or 2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (10 to 12 ounces) good-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet 10-15 inches with foil and arrange 28 crackers side by side. Form foil rims to prevent the caramel from dripping onto the baking sheet.
- Combine butter, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Melt, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes, until caramelized. Add vanilla and pour caramel over the crackers, covering them completely. Place in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a water bath or microwave.
- Remove the baking sheet and wait 1 minute for the caramel to stop bubbling. Pour melted chocolate over the top and spread with a spatula. Let the crackers cool at room temperature, then refrigerate.
- After cooling completely, peel off the foil and cut the caramel crackers into portions with a large knife. Store in a container with a lid in the refrigerator.
