How to make White Chocolate Salada Crackers
The joy of making these treats is as simple as pie, and I promise they’ll bring smiles all around!
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 your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (or 160 degrees for a fan-forced oven). Line a 20 x 30 cm slice pan with baking paper, letting it hang over the sides to make it easy to lift out the treats later.
- Lay out the Salada crackers in a single layer on the bottom of your pan, trimming them to fit snugly.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and salted butter. Stir it gently until the butter is all melted and the mixture is smooth. Let it come to a boil, stirring continuously for about 30 seconds, or until it thickens a little—a sweet, golden goodness!
- Pour this luscious sugar mixture evenly over the crackers, and pop it into the oven for about 5 minutes or until you see the sugar bubbling happily.
- Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the melted white chocolate over the bubbling sugar. Use a palette knife to smooth it out—because we all like a pretty finish!
- Now for the fun part: sprinkle those colorful hundreds and thousands and star sprinkles all over the chocolate topped goodness, along with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes. This is where the magic happens, friends.
- Set the pan aside for at least two hours, allowing it to cool and set. Once it’s firm, break it into pieces to serve.
