Servings: 12
Cost: $8
Equipment
- Jelly Roll Pan
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
- Tin Foil & Cooking Spray or a Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat
Ingredients
- 36 -40 Saltine Crackers
- 1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar Packed
- 1 Cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 Cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 Cup Red & Green M&Ms
- 1/4 Cup Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F
- Line a Jelly Roll pan with foil and grease with a liberal dose of cooking spray. If you prefer, you can also use a non-stick silicone baking mat.
- Place the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and then fold in the brown sugar. Bring to a low boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly so that it does not burn.
- Stir in the vanilla extract
- Layer the brown sugar mixture on top of the crackers. Use a spatulate to make sure all of the crackers have equal coating.
- Place the base mixture in the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until you can see the brown sugar mixture bubbling.
- Gently remove the pan from the oven, add the chocolate chips on top, and then place the pan back in the oven for another 3 minutes to melt the chocolate.
- Remove from the oven and use a spatulate to spread the chocolate evenly across the top of the cracker base.
- Before the melted chocolate has a chance to cool, liberally sprinkle the white chocolate chips, red & green M&Ms, and Christmas sprinkles across the top.
- Set aside and allow to cool, either on the kitchen counter or you can place it right into the refrigerator (although I find sometimes that cooling in the refrigerator causes the chocolate to form white spots).
- Optional: Wait a few minutes then take a spoon to gently spread the softened white chocolate into little swirls.
- Once it has fully cooled, you can cut into pieces and serve on a plate, or pack some away in gift boxes as a lovely DIY Christmas gift.
