Easy to make and irresistibly addictive, this dessert is perfect for quick indulgence, parties, or gifting, with versatile options to customize according to your taste or dietary needs.

Ingredients

Base and Coating

  • Salted butter – 1 cup (2 sticks)
  • Granulated sugar – 1 cup
  • Cinnamon – 2 teaspoons
  • Ritz crackers or similar salted butter crackers – 1 sleeve (about 30 crackers)

Toppings

  • White chocolate chips or chunks – 1 1/2 cups
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Sea salt flakes – Light sprinkle, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine Cinnamon Sugar: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the salted butter. Carefully whisk in granulated sugar and cinnamon until the mixture is well combined and bubbling.
  3. Arrange Crackers and Pour Mixture: Place crackers in a single flat layer on the lined baking sheet without overlapping. Evenly pour the warm cinnamon sugar butter mixture over the crackers, coating each piece thoroughly.
  4. Bake Until Crunchy: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the sugar mixture caramelizes slightly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  5. Add White Chocolate and Sea Salt: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle white chocolate chips or chunks over the hot crackers. Let sit for a few minutes until the chocolate melts, then gently spread to cover. Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt flakes.
  6. Cool Completely and Break Into Pieces: Allow the churro crack to cool at room temperature or in the fridge until fully set and hardened. Once firm, break into bite-size pieces or shards and serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for an even melt and better mix with sugar and cinnamon.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; crackers should lay flat in one layer to cook evenly.
  • Monitor baking closely as caramelization happens fast and can burn easily.
  • Choose good quality white chocolate for superior flavor and smooth melting.
  • Sprinkle sea salt after chocolate melts to enhance the sweet-salty flavor and add texture contrast.
