Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker version, you can use pre-made caramel sauce instead of making your own. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be a great substitute. Ensure to let the caramel mixture cool slightly before spooning it onto the crackers to prevent them from getting soggy. For a festive twist, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for contrast.
