Christmas Crackers
Ingredients
40 (approx.)
saltine crackers
1 cup (2 sticks)
Kowalski's Salted Butter
1 cup
dark brown sugar
2 cups
semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; arrange crackers in a single layer, salt-side down (be sure to cover the entire pan).
- Combine butter and sugar in a small pot over medium-high heat; stir occasionally while bringing the mixture to a boil.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is a deep golden caramel color (about 3 min. longer).
- Immediately pour caramel evenly over the crackers; use a silicone spatula to spread caramel over crackers, covering them completely.
- Bake in preheated oven until crackers are very bubbly all over (about 6 min.).
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over caramel; let sit for a couple of minutes, then spread hot chocolate evenly over crackers. (If necessary, pop the pan back in the oven to warm the chips and make them easier to spread.)
- Cool completely at room temperature; cut or break into pieces.
- Store at room temperature, tightly covered, for up to 5 days.
