Salted Caramel Cracker Bites

If you’re craving a sweet-and-salty treat that’s dangerously addictive and ridiculously easy to make, these Salted Caramel Cracker Bites are your new best friend. Buttery caramel over crispy crackers, topped with melty chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt—ready in under 20 minutes.

  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 35–40 pieces 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 40 salted square crackers (like Saltines)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping
  • Optional: chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or crushed pretzels

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Arrange the crackers in a single layer, edge to edge.
  3. Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Let it boil for 3 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the crackers and spread it out if needed.

  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for a minute to melt.
  7. Spread the melted chocolate until smooth.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and optional toppings.
  9. Cool completely, then break or cut into bite-sized pieces.
