Line a baking sheet with foil and create a single layer of crispy crackers as the base for this decadent treat.
Combine butter and rich brown sugar in a pan, stirring until the mixture transforms into a golden, bubbling caramel that will coat the crackers with deliciousness.
Pour the warm caramel over the crackers and bake until the surface becomes glossy and bubbling. Sprinkle dark chocolate chips across the top, letting them melt into a smooth, luxurious layer.

Description
Rich chocolate covered strawberry crack delivers an irresistible blend of sweet and salty flavors. Crisp graham crackers form the base, topped with strawberry-infused chocolate that promises pure indulgence for dessert enthusiasts.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ sleeves (54) saltine crackers
- 1 cup (237 ml / 8 fl oz) brown sugar
- 1 cup (227 g / 8 oz) butter
- 12 oz (340 g) semi sweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate chips
- 2 cups (480 ml / 16 fl oz) strawberries, chopped and patted dry
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven rack centrally and preheat to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet completely with aluminum foil.
- Cracker Base: Arrange saltine crackers in a precise, single layer without overlapping across the foil-lined pan.
- Toffee Creation: In a medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir consistently until the mixture transforms into a smooth, bubbling caramel-like blend, maintaining a vigorous boil for 3 minutes.
- Chocolate Coating: Pour the molten toffee evenly over crackers, ensuring complete coverage. Bake for 7 minutes until glossy and slightly bubbling.
- Chocolate Application: Immediately scatter semi-sweet chocolate chips across the hot toffee. Allow natural heat to initiate melting, then use an offset spatula to smooth into a uniform layer.
- Decorative Touches: Sprinkle white chocolate chips randomly over the semi-sweet chocolate. Create a marbled effect by gently dragging a toothpick through both chocolate varieties.
- Strawberry Finale: Pat strawberry pieces dry and distribute evenly across the chocolate surface. Gently press to ensure adherence.
- Chilling and Serving: Refrigerate for 1 hour to set completely. Break into irregular, rustic pieces using hands or a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Cracker Placement Precision: Arrange saltines tightly without gaps to create a perfect base for even toffee distribution.
- Temperature Control Critical: Watch caramel mixture carefully during 3-minute boiling to prevent burning and achieve ideal texture.
- Moisture Management: Thoroughly dry strawberries to prevent water interference with chocolate setting and maintain crisp texture.
- Chocolate Swirling Technique: Use light toothpick touch when creating marbled effect to ensure delicate, artistic chocolate pattern.
