Description

These White Chocolate Saltine Crackers are an easy, no-bake snack that hits the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy.

Servings

  • Makes: 12–16 pieces

  • Serving Size: 3–4 crackers per person

Ingredients

  • 12–16 saltine crackers

  • ½ to ¾ cup white chocolate chips or white chocolate bar, chopped

Optional add-ons:

  • Chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios)

  • Sprinkles

  • Sea salt flakes

  • Crushed freeze-dried fruit

 Instructions

  1. Prepare the base
    Arrange saltine crackers in a single layer on a plate or parchment-lined tray.

  2. Melt the white chocolate

    • Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth

    • Or melt gently using a double boiler

  3. Top the crackers
    Spoon melted white chocolate onto each cracker and spread lightly.

  4. Set the chocolate

    • Let sit at room temperature for 30–45 minutes

    • Or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm

  5. Serve or store
    Enjoy immediately or store for later snacking.

Notes

  • White chocolate melts faster than dark chocolate — stir often to prevent scorching

  • Uneven spreading is totally fine (and honestly adds charm)

  • Crackers stay crunchy for several hours at room temp

Tips for Best Results

  • Use real white chocolate (with cocoa butter) for smoother melting

  • If chocolate thickens, add ½ teaspoon coconut oil or butter

  • Sprinkle toppings before the chocolate sets

  • For cleaner edges, chill briefly before serving
