Ingredients
- Ritz Crackers
- Caramel Sauce
- Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark)
- Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Lay out half of the Ritz crackers on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle a generous amount of caramel sauce over each cracker, covering them well but leaving a little space at the edges.
- Place another Ritz cracker on top of each caramel-covered cracker, creating a sandwich.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, just until the caramel starts to soften.
- Melt your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments and stirring in between until smooth.
- Once the cookies are slightly cooled, drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of the sandwiches.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter or an airtight container.
