Chocolate Caramel Cracker Candy is a layered candy made with club crackers and a sugary caramel sauce with chocolate on top. This easy no-bake dessert tastes like a twix bar. Whether it is for a bake sale or a holiday treat, this sweet and salty candy is hard to resist.
Chocolate Caramel Cracker Candy is very similar to Graham Cracker Candy or Saltine Candy, except instead of being made in a single layer, this candy has 3 layers with a buttery, sugary caramel layer in between and a thick layer of chocolate on top.
Only 6 Ingredients Needed
You’ll need some Keebler Club Crackers which should be easy to find, and incidentally taste fantastic with pimento cheese or homemade chicken salad.
A mixture of sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, corn syrup, and melted butter is poured between the layers. Once assembled and chilled the caramel mixture firms up but still stays soft enough to easily bite into. A layer of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips on top finishes this candy off. It tastes so wonderfully sweet and the crunchy crackers make this homemade candy a real crowd pleaser.

Variations
Change up the ingredients based on your tastes or what you have on hand.
- Saltines or Ritz crackers can be used instead of Club crackers.
- Use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate in place of semi-sweet.

Cut the bars into whatever size you like. They are very sweet and rich so you can cut them into small pieces.
