Ingredients
40 Ritz crackers
20 soft caramel candies
2 tablespoons heavy cream
12 ounces white chocolate or almond bark
1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a saucepan with the heavy cream. Melt over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
2. Lay out half of the Ritz crackers flat-side up and spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel onto each.
3. Top with the remaining crackers to form sandwiches and gently press together.
4. Melt the white chocolate or almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
5. Dip each cookie sandwich into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
6. Place on parchment paper and immediately top with holiday sprinkles.
7. Let the cookies set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until firm.
Notes
Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Avoid overfilling the caramel or it will leak during dipping.
Refrigerating the cookies helps the chocolate set faster and cleaner.
