Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 42 pieces Ritz Crackers Buttery, crispy texture for a delightful crunch.
  • 1 cup dulce de leche caramel Creamy and sweet for rich flavor.
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips Provides a rich, slightly bittersweet contrast.
  • 8 ounces almond bark Adds creamy texture and sweet vanilla flavor.
  • Sprinkles Optional garnish for visual appeal.
  • Flake sea salt Optional garnish to balance sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Layer half of the Ritz Crackers onto the baking sheet and spread dulce de leche caramel on each cracker.
  3. Gently press the remaining crackers on top to form sandwiches.
Melting Chocolate
  1. Melt the chocolate chips and almond bark in a double boiler until smooth.
Coating Crackers
  1. Dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, coating both sides.
  2. Tap the fork to remove excess chocolate and slide onto the baking sheet.
Finishing Touches
  1. Sprinkle decorative sprinkles or flake sea salt on top before the chocolate hardens.
Setting
  1. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set.

Notes

Use room temperature caramel for easier spreading. Experiment with different chocolate varieties, and add chopped nuts or crushed pretzels for texture. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
