Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 36 pieces buttery round crackers such as Ritz-style crackers
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans (optional) Substitute with another topping if nuts are not preferred.
  • to taste Flaky sea salt for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the crackers in a single layer.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar. Stir until melted and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt.
  4. Spoon warm caramel over the crackers, spreading it evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake for 6-8 minutes until the caramel is bubbling.
  2. Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the caramel; let sit for 2-3 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate.
  3. Top with chopped pecans and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate until firm.
  2. Break into individual bites and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Store any leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Refrigerate for longer storage. Let sit at room temperature before serving if refrigerated. Keep an eye on the caramel while heating to avoid burning. You can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate or use different toppings like crushed candies.
