How to make White Chocolate Crackers
Gather your loved ones and let’s create something wonderful together in the kitchen!
Ingredients:
- 6 Arnott’s Salada Original crackers
- 160g (1 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
- 125g salted butter, chopped
- 2 x 180g white chocolate block, melted
- 1 tbsp hundreds and thousands
- 2 tbsp rainbow star sprinkles
- 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes
Directions:
- Preheat that oven to 180C/160C fan-forced, and line a 20 x 30cm slice pan with baking paper. Let the paper hang over the two long sides, just like a welcoming mat on your doorstep.
- Arrange the crackers in a single layer over the base of the prepared pan, trimming them if needed to fit snugly. It’s all about creating a perfect little foundation for your treats!
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and butter. Stir gently as they melt together, bringing back memories of sweet family kitchens where the love was always in the details.
- Once smooth, let the mixture come to a boil and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds until it thickens. Then, like a treasure, pour the sugar mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Bake for 5 minutes or until the sugar mixture bubbles with excitement, just like all the laughter around your dinner table.
- Now it’s time for that heavenly touch. Pour the melted white chocolate over the bubbly sugar mixture and use a palette knife to smooth the surface, making it look as inviting as a fresh batch of cookies.
- To add a splash of fun, scatter hundreds and thousands and rainbow star sprinkles on top, like confetti celebrating a special occasion. Finally, sprinkle with sea salt flakes to bring out all those flavors.
- Set it aside for about 2 hours or until everything has set just right.
- When it’s ready, break it into pieces to serve, and may your home be filled with sweet smiles!
