Description
Salted Caramel Ritz Cookies are a sweet and salty treat made with buttery Ritz crackers, creamy caramel, and rich chocolate almond bark, finished with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 soft caramels
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Approximately 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers (~60 Ritz crackers)
- 24 ounces chocolate almond bark
- Sea salt (or sprinkles), for topping
Instructions
- Place the soft caramels and heavy cream into a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir well. Continue microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the caramel mixture is completely smooth. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Arrange half of the Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers) evenly on the sheet. Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cooled caramel onto each cracker, spreading just enough to cover without spilling over the edges. Top each caramel-coated cracker with another Ritz cracker to form sandwiches.
- Place the baking sheet with assembled cracker sandwiches into the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set.
- Melt the 24 ounces of chocolate almond bark according to the package instructions, making sure it’s smooth and ready for dipping.
- Remove the chilled Ritz cracker sandwiches from the refrigerator. Dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate almond bark, making sure to coat them fully. Shake off excess chocolate and place them back onto the lined baking sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle sea salt or decorative sprinkles over each coated cookie before the chocolate sets, adding a perfect salty contrast and visually appealing finish.
- Allow the almond bark to cool and harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. Enjoy your delicious salted caramel Ritz cracker cookies!
