Remember those irresistible chocolate pretzel bites from a while ago? Meet their cousins, the salted-caramel, chocolate sandwiches. Two flaky Ritz crackers hug a gooey Rolo candy, resulting in a sweet and salty snack that is both crispy and chewy at the same time. The ingredients (all two of them) can be found at most stores, so if you procrastinated on your dish for a class potluck or want an impressive holiday gift, look no further.

4. Bake for about 3 minutes; the chocolates should be glistening and soft but still retain their original shape.

5. Immediately place another cracker, plain side down, onto each Rolo. Press down until the chocolate reaches the edges of the cracker.

6. If you want the filling to firm up a bit, put the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Take them to parties and potlucks to rake in the compliments or impress your parents and show them you can make more than just Kraft Mac’n’Cheese. Or eat them all by yourself while watching Netflix because, well, YOLO.
