How to Make Salted Caramel Cracker Bites (Cracker Toffee):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan<\/strong>
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Make the Salted Caramel Sauce<\/strong>
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar while stirring constantly until it liquefies and turns a deep amber color.
Carefully add the cubed butter and stir until fully incorporated.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously (the mixture will bubble vigorously).
Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, then stir in sea salt and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Arrange the Crackers<\/strong>
Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Add the Caramel<\/strong>
Pour the hot caramel sauce evenly over the crackers, tilting the pan or using a spatula to spread it smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Bake<\/strong>
Bake for 5\u20137 minutes, until the caramel is bubbling and the cracker edges turn golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Melt the Chocolate<\/strong>
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips over the hot caramel layer.
Let them sit for a few minutes until melted from the residual heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: Spread and Finish<\/strong>
Using an offset spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the remaining sea salt evenly on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8: Cool and Break<\/strong>
Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate until the caramel and chocolate are firm.
Once set, break into bite-sized pieces and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
