SALTED CARAMEL CRACKER BITES

Instructions:

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the salted crackers in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they fit closely together.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture starts to boil. Once it begins to boil, let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, without stirring, until it turns a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. You now have a rich caramel sauce.
  5. Quickly pour the caramel sauce over the arranged salted crackers, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
  6. Use a spatula to spread the caramel if needed, ensuring that all crackers are coated.
  7. While the caramel is still hot, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top. The salt adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the caramel.
  8. Allow the caramel-coated crackers to cool and set on the baking sheet. You can speed up this process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  9. Once the caramel has fully set and hardened, break the sheet of caramelized crackers into bite-sized pieces.
  10. Your salted caramel cracker bites are ready to enjoy! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

These little bites offer a perfect blend of flavors and textures, with the buttery, sweet caramel contrasting the salty crunch of the crackers. They make for a great snack or a delightful addition to your dessert table. Enjoy!
