Ingredients
- 36 Simple Mills almond flour crackers or homemade almond flour crackers
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup softened grass-fed butter or vegan buttery stick
- 1 cup semi-sweet OR dark chocolate chips Enjoy Life or Lily's for dairy-free
- ¼ cup chopped almonds
- 2-3 Tablespoons dried cranberries chopped (optional)
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line a 9x9 square pan with foil and lightly spray with coconut oil cooking spray. Arrange crackers in a single layer to cover the bottom of the pan. You should be able to fit all 36 crackers in a single layer.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add softened butter and sugar. Stir with a whisk until butter has melted and sugar has dissolved. Bring mixture to a low boil, and let boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately pour mixture over the crackers and use a rubber spatula to spread the cover all of the crackers.
- Place in the preheated oven for 6 minutes or until caramel is bubbling across the whole pan.
- While crackers are in the oven, melt your chocolate: add chocolate chips to a medium glass bowl and heat in the microwave on 20-second intervals, mixing the chocolate with a spoon between intervals. Once most of the chocolate is melted, remove from the microwave and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove crackers from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes to allow the bubbles to deflate. Drizzle melted chocolate on top and spread with a rubber spatula until you have an even, smooth chocolate layer. Top with chopped almonds and dried cranberries.
- Place pan in the fridge to set for 1-2 hours. Once set, the crack will be completely hard. Pull pan from the fridge or freezer, peel away foil and break crack into pieces using your hands or cut with a knife. Enjoy right away!
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Double batch: To make a larger batch on a sheet pan, use 1 family size box of Simple Mills crackers (you'll use about 96 crackers) and then double the rest of the ingredients so 1 cup butter, 1 cup coconut sugar and 2 cups chocolate chips.
