For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the caramel. The hint of salt enhances the sweetness and adds complexity. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate, to create your own signature brittle. Add a pinch of sea salt flakes to the top of the chocolate before it sets for a delightful salty-sweet contrast. If you don’t have nuts on hand, consider using other toppings such as sprinkles, toffee bits, or dried cranberries.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Stage: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil or parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange the Crackers: Create a cracker mosaic on the prepared baking sheet, arranging the crackers in a single layer, slightly overlapping like shingles to cover the entire surface. (10 minutes)
03
StepCraft the Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is completely dissolved, forming a smooth, bubbling caramel. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, allowing the caramel to thicken slightly. (8 minutes)
04
StepDrizzle and Bake: Pour the molten caramel evenly over the cracker base, ensuring every cracker is coated in its golden embrace. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling and slightly darkened.
05
StepChocolate Cascade: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel-covered crackers. Allow the chocolate chips to melt for 2 minutes, softening into a decadent pool. (2 minutes)
06
StepSpread and Sprinkle: Gently spread the melted chocolate over the crackers, creating a smooth, even layer. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired, adding a delightful nutty crunch. (5 minutes)
07
StepCool and Conquer: Allow the Cracker Cookie Brittle to cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, until the caramel and chocolate have set firm. Once cooled, break the brittle into satisfyingly irregular pieces. (60 minutes)
08
StepStore in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its delightful crispness. (5 minutes)
