Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 35-40 saltine crackers
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Arrange Crackers: Lay out 35-40 saltine crackers evenly on the prepared baking sheet in tight rows so they are touching each other.
- Prepare Brown Sugar Mixture: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of brown sugar together. Whisk and bring to a boil for a few minutes until fully combined and bubbly.
- Pour Mixture Over Crackers: Pour the hot brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the arranged saltine crackers, spreading it out with a spatula if needed.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 4 minutes. This helps the mixture soak into the crackers and creates a sticky base.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While the crackers bake, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add White Chocolate: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle 2 cups of white chocolate chips over the hot crackers. Let the chips sit for a few minutes to melt.
- Spread Chocolate: Using a knife or offset spatula, spread the melted white chocolate evenly over the entire surface.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the melted chocolate before it sets.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or place the pan in the fridge to speed up the setting process. Once hardened, cut into pieces and serve.
Notes
- For faster setting, refrigerate the churro crack after spreading the chocolate and cinnamon sugar.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Ensure the brown sugar mixture is boiling to get the right caramelization and sticky texture.
- Cut into bite-sized pieces for easy sharing and serving.
