I’ve made more than a few batches of cracker candy over the years and I can confidently say that it is always a good idea. This stuff disappears moments after you set it out and newbies are clamoring to know how it’s made. The recipe version I have for you today sticks pretty close to the original, except for one key switch up: peanut butter bits. These salty, bite-sized cracker sandwiches add just the right amount of crunch with a hint of beloved peanut butter flavor. I can’t get enough!
I’ve opted for the mini cracker sandwiches, but you could use the full size options as well. There’s just something so cute about the little guys! A simple caramel sauce is cooked up on the stovetop and then poured over a layer of the crackers. Pop them in the oven until they’re really bubbling, then allow to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the chocolate.
