Description
Delicious Christmas cracker cookies perfect for the holiday season!
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Ritz crackers
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp Christmas sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line two muffin tins with cute festive cupcake liners (optional) or use silicone cupcake/muffin pans.
- Place a Ritz cracker in the bottom of each muffin cup.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, continuing to stir for 3 minutes so that the mixture doesn’t burn.
- Remove the butter toffee from the heat and quickly drop a tablespoon onto each Ritz. A cookie scoop is a helpful way to accurately fill each cup about 3/4 full for even distribution.
- Place the tins in the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the tins from the oven and immediately and while the caramel is still very runny from being hot, press the crackers down to the bottom, and they will stay in place. Then add 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips to each cup.
- Allow the chocolate to melt a bit and then spread the chocolate with the back of a spoon.
- Add the Christmas sprinkles. You can use crushed candy canes instead, if you like.
- Place the assembled Christmas cracker cookies in the fridge to cool and set for 2-3 hours. This tip is important. Always make sure the caramel layer is fully set and cooled before peeling the paper liner if you are using.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the caramel layer is fully set before serving.
- Optional: use crushed candy canes instead of sprinkles for a different topping.
