Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  • Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and arrange the crackers salt-side down in a single layer.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter and coconut sugar together and let it come to a slight boil. Whisk together until it turns into a caramel consistency.
  • Immediately remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly and spreading it with a spatula.
  • Put the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately scatter chocolate chips over the crackers while the caramel is still really hot. This will help the chocolate chips to melt.
  • Let the chocolate chips sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to melt a bit. After the chips melt slightly, spread them evenly over the crackers with a butter knife.
  • Transfer the pan to the freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerator for a couple of hours until completely cold (until the shine of the chocolate disappears). The crackers will form into one big sheet.
  • Once the candy is set, break up into desired pieces.
  • Store in the fridge for one week or freezer for 3-4 months.

Notes

  • Make sure to preheat oven. If the oven is not preheated properly, the coconut sugar/butter mixture will take longer to bubble up.
  • Whisk butter/coconut sugar mixture constantly to achieve best caramel consistency.
  • Let chocolate chips sit & melt for 2-3 minutes.  This will help the chocolate spread easily.
  • Make sure to freeze for at least 20-30 minutes. It is so hard to wait, but it is important so the chocolate is really cold and prevents fingerprints or being messy when breaking into pieces. Also, make sure to let the candy thaw a few minutes before eating.
