Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 40 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and salt, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble and coats a spoon, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Arrange crackers: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the saltine crackers in a single layer to cover the surface.
  3. Pour caramel over crackers: Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the crackers, spreading quickly with a spatula to coat each cracker thoroughly.
  4. Bake briefly: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and starting to set.
  5. Cool and salt: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle additional sea salt over the top for enhanced flavor. Allow the crackers to cool completely to room temperature, or refrigerate for faster setting.
  6. Break into pieces: Once cooled and caramel is firm, break the crackers into bite-sized pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and minimal mess.
  • Be careful when working with hot caramel; it can cause burns.
  • For extra crunch, refrigerate the crackers briefly after baking.
  • Adjust sea salt to taste depending on preference for sweetness versus saltiness.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
