Ingredients
Scale
- 35 to 40 saltine crackers
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks or 226 g)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tsps cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, meticulously arranging saltine crackers in edge-to-edge rows without gaps.
- Caramel Creation: In a medium saucepan, whisk unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat until transforming into a rich, bubbling caramel sauce. Pour molten caramel evenly across cracker surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Baking Process: Slide the sheet into a preheated 400°F (204°C) oven, baking for 4 minutes until caramel slightly bubbles and transforms.
- Chocolate Layering: Sprinkle white chocolate chips across the hot surface, utilizing residual heat to melt. Smooth chips into a uniform layer using a spatula, completely covering crackers.
- Finishing Touch: Blend granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then generously dust the entire surface, ensuring even distribution of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the treat to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or expedite chilling in the refrigerator until chocolate hardens completely. Slice into bite-sized rectangular pieces and serve.
Notes
- Prevent Burning Caramel: Continuously whisk butter and brown sugar to avoid scorching, which can create bitter flavors and ruin the entire batch.
- Chocolate Melting Technique: Let residual heat from the baking sheet naturally melt white chocolate chips, preventing potential burning or seizing when using direct heat.
- Sugar Coating Pro Tip: Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture immediately after chocolate layer for maximum adherence and most vibrant flavor infusion.
- Cooling and Storage Hack: Refrigerate for faster setting, but allow treats to reach room temperature before serving to enhance taste and texture complexity.
