2–3 sleeves of saltine crackers
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
¼ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer, covering the entire sheet.
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Make Caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and bring to a boil. Let it bubble for 2 minutes without stirring.
Pour Caramel: Carefully pour the hot caramel over the arranged saltines, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling and has darkened slightly.
Add Chocolate: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for 5 minutes to melt, then spread evenly.
Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
Cool and Break: Allow the candy to cool completely, about 30–60 minutes. Once set, break into bite-sized pieces.
Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
