Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 box Saltine Crackers
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Use unsalted for balanced flavor.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips Can swap for white chocolate or butterscotch chips.
  • 1 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt Sprinkle over chocolate while soft.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Making the Caramel
  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently until it reaches a gentle boil and thickens, about 3 minutes.
  2. Pour the hot caramel over the crackers, spreading it with a spatula.
  3. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until bubbling.
  4. Remove from the oven and scatter chocolate chips over the caramel.
  5. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften, then spread the melted chocolate evenly.
  6. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still soft.
Cooling
  1. Let cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Notes

Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for about 5 to 7 days. For longer storage, put in the refrigerator but let them come to room temperature before serving.
