Crunchy, buttery crackers topped with rich, gooey caramel and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, creating a perfectly balanced sweet and salty treat that’s simple to prepare and indulgent.

Ingredients

1 sleeve (about 40 crackers) buttery crackers (like saltines or Ritz)

1 cup (2 sticks or 226 g) unsalted butter

1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar

1/4 cup (60 ml) light corn syrup or honey

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and arrange crackers in a single layer to cover the sheet.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup, bring to a boil while stirring constantly, then boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
  4. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda; the mixture will bubble up.
  5. Immediately pour the caramel evenly over the crackers and gently spread with a spatula to coat.
  6. Bake the tray for 5–7 minutes until the caramel is bubbly and golden.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the top.
  8. Let crackers cool completely at room temperature or in the fridge until caramel sets and hardens.
  9. Once set, break into pieces and serve.

Notes

Makes about 40 pieces depending on size of broken pieces.

Variations include using pretzel crackers, drizzling melted chocolate over cooled caramel, adding cinnamon or chili powder to caramel, or sprinkling crushed nuts before caramel sets.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days; refrigerate if softened to firm back up.

Reheating not recommended; best served cool and crunchy.

Can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free crackers.
