Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 48 Ritz crackers (1.5 pounds / 680 grams)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters / 8 fluid ounces) caramel sauce
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Enhancing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Garnish:
- Sprinkles or sea salt, for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Create a base layer of Ritz crackers, carefully positioning them in a single, uniform arrangement across the prepared baking sheet.
- Generously drizzle caramel sauce over each cracker, ensuring an even distribution that covers the surface without overflowing.
- Gently place a second Ritz cracker atop each caramel-coated base, applying light pressure to create a delicate sandwich.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, using short intervals and stirring frequently to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency. Add a touch of shortening to enhance the chocolate’s shine and spreadability.
- Transform each cracker sandwich into a decadent treat by carefully submerging it in the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure complete coverage and allow excess chocolate to drip away.
- While the chocolate remains wet, personalize your delights with a sprinkle of colorful confetti or a delicate dusting of sea salt for a gourmet touch.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-coated treats until the coating becomes firm and glossy, typically around 30 minutes, creating a crisp, indulgent texture.
Notes
- Prep Ahead: Create these delightful treats in just 15 minutes with simple ingredients found in most kitchens.
- Temperature Matters: Use room temperature caramel for smooth, even spreading and easier sandwich formation.
- Chocolate Tip: Melt chocolate slowly to prevent burning, stirring frequently for a glossy, perfectly smooth coating.
- Creative Variations: Experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white for unique flavor profiles.
- Storage Hack: Keep these treats fresh by storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serving Suggestion: Let chocolates sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture and taste.
