This is another Pinterest find! Some days I feel like I can get lost in that Pinterest black hole. Most of what I make from there turns out very well. This recipe is no exception and is made so simple with the Kraft caramel bits that melt so easy in the microwave! I brought some of these into work and let me tell you these did not last long. The recipe was given out after the first bite!! I will say these do take a little bit of time but are so simple!
INGREDIENTS
1 bag of Kraft Caramel Bits
2 Tablespoons of water
1 bag of Ghiradelli melting chips (I used dark chocolate)
Ritz Crackers – original
Chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS
Place the caramel bits in a microwave safe bowl with the two Tablespoons of water and melt in the microwave until the caramel is smooth. This takes about 2 minutes in my microwave. Once the caramel is melted, let it sit until it gets a little on the firm side or the caramel will just run off the cracker. Once the caramel is thick enough place a small amount of the caramel on one side of a cracker and top with a second cracker and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue to do this for each cracker. When you are done making the caramel crackers place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm the caramel a little more. Once they are set up, take them out of the fridge and place the chocolate melting chips in a microwave safe bowl and melt the chips in the microwave until melted and smooth. Taking one cracker at a time dip them into the melted chocolate covering the entire cracker with chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off the cracker and place back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Do this for each cracker and place back into the fridge to set the chocolate, this takes about 30 minutes. Remove from fridge and store in a Ziplok bag in the fridge until ready to eat!
Enjoy!
