Ingredients
- 48 Ritz crackers (split into two rounds each, referred to as ‘spliters’)
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Sprinkles or sea salt, for garnish
Step-by-step Directions
1. Prepare Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange Crackers

3. Add Caramel
Top each spliter with about 1-2 teaspoons of caramel sauce.
4. Form Sandwiches
Cover each caramel topped spliter with another spliter, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
5. Melt Chocolate
Combine the chocolate chips and optional shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
6. Dip Sandwiches in Chocolate
Dip each caramel sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to help drain excess chocolate and transfer back to the baking sheet.
7. Garnish
Immediately sprinkle the wet chocolate with either sprinkles or a dash of sea salt, depending on your preference.
8. Chill
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
