Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- Butter crackers, about 30 pieces (choose sturdy, buttery type for best crunch)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate bars (high-quality recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)
Optional Toppings
- Chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or your choice)
- Shredded coconut
- Dried fruit pieces
- Festive sprinkles (for celebrations)
- Salted caramel sauce (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workstation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a clean, non-stick surface for setting your coated crackers. This helps with easy cleanup and ensures the chocolate hardens evenly.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate in short 20-30 second bursts. Stir frequently until the chocolate is smooth, glossy, and fully melted without scorching.
- Dip the Crackers: Dip each cracker halfway into the melted white chocolate one by one. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and then place the coated cracker onto the prepared baking sheet. This method helps maintain the cracker’s crunchy texture.
- Add Toppings and Sea Salt: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle sea salt flakes and any optional toppings you desire over the wet chocolate before it sets. This ensures toppings stick perfectly and add texture.
- Let Them Set: Allow the coated crackers to cool and the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm and crisp.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for creamier and richer coating.
- Work quickly when dipping, as white chocolate hardens fast.
- Avoid overheating the chocolate to keep it smooth and silky.
- Parchment paper is essential to prevent sticking and maintain cracker integrity while setting.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for up to 5 days.
