After making the Crispy Caramel Marshmallows last week I had about 1 1/2 cups of the caramel sauce leftover. Well more like 1 1/4 cups since I ate 1/4 cup right from the bowl- yes I used a new spoon with each bite. After seeing Grace’s Twickers Bars I knew what would become of my caramel sauce. In order not to waste food I try various techniques at disguising leftovers to eat again and possibly again. This was a simple ordeal of layering the caramel between crackers and topping it all off with chocolate.
I left out peanut butter so that my allergy boy could have some too so these treats remained very bare minimum, simple, and very pleasurable. If you ever make my Crispy Caramel Marshmallows, you’ll know what to do with the leftover caramel sauce because I’m sure without ice cream this apples suggestion brownie sundaes you apple pie would French Toast have milkshakes had cheesecake no idea.
Twackers- adapted from Southern Grace
1 1/4- 1 1/2 cups caramel sauce or another favorite thick caramel sauce
45 Premium Brand Saltines
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 T butter
crushed sea salt
In a lightly greased 11×7 inch baking dish, place a single layer of 15 crackers. Gently heat caramel sauce in the microwave until warmed through and spreadable. I used half-power in 25 second intervals. Spread 1/2 of the caramel sauce over the crackers. Top with another layer of crackers and the second half of caramel sauce. Top with remaining crackers. In a microwave safe cup, melt butter in the microwave. Stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Spread over top layer of crackers. Sprinkle with sea salt. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes or until set and cut into desired sized pieces.

Oh my…those look SOOOO….good, I wish I had one for breakfast!!!!
Thanks for the recipe…my boys will LOVE this!!
ha HA! excellent! i, too, frown upon wasting anything, especially something as luscious as caramel sauce. i'm glad yours found a nice, tasty home.
This is so sinful I could be licking my computer screen right now… The only thing refraining me is that my coworkers would think I am a weird girl…
I ALWAYS have leftover ingredients from my baking. I'm just now realizing I should have stirred my strawberry sauce from cupcakes into the strawberry ice cream I made two days ago!
Robin, I wasn't a caramel fan until 13 seconds ago, when the pictures loaded.
Twackers (love the name) look like something Thumper and I would love.
MMM Sweet and savory. Those look great but I'm afraid if I make them I'll eat them all
yes I remember when Ms. Grace did these. Just like crack, period.
Why is it that recipes w/ Saltine Crackers are always SO delicious?!?
Oh geez, this is perfection in a dessert.
Your photos make me wonder why I never have any caramel sauce left over!
Sigh….
You're dangerous to read after 8 p.m.
I'm making this next weekend.
What a genius you are! I made the Crispy Marshmellows and have some caramel left over. We have been eating it on apples, but now I can make this today!!
BTW – I'll probably eat them all before the kids get home from school.
So glad you posted this. I just made the marshmallows yesterday and I was trying to figure out what to do with the left over sauce. WITHOUT eating it with a spoon!
That looks so good Robin!
I make a home made kit kat bar where you take graham crackers, put peanut butter in between and dip in chocolate flavored almond bark (candy coating chocolate that dries instantly).
It's so good, I make it every year at Christmas.
OH WOW..you certainly put it into good use!
Great idea(s). I wish I had some leftover sauce for the graham crackers I'm eating now.
Okay, so I'm hooked. I will now have to go make the marshmallows and then this! I need to add another million miles to my weekly walks. I would love for you to come visit my blog at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com and consider joining in Crock Pot Wednesday. Thanks for a great post.
umm, ummm, ummm, ummm, ummm! I would love some of these right now. Grumpy and I both have the munchies but nothing to just grab and eat! This would fit the bill!
Oh, yeah Honey can have Old Bay cheese balls, I'm having twackers.

You have the best recipes for making something simply delicious from those leftovers I never know what to do with. These look just amazing!
Holy heck – these look incredible. I might just whip some of these up, if only to be able to offer guests a "twacker"
Yes indeed they were very tempting on Grace's blog and yes indeed they are just as tempting here!
