Salted Peanut Nougat Cracker Sandwiches with Chocolate Coating – Page 2

For the Chocolate Coating:

8 oz semisweet or milk chocolate – You can use chocolate chips or chop up a bar of your favorite chocolate. Semi-sweet chocolate works great for a balance of sweetness, but milk chocolate will provide a richer, sweeter coating.
2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil – Helps thin out the chocolate for easier dipping and gives it a smooth, glossy finish.

How to Make Salted Peanut Nougat Cracker Sandwiches with Chocolate Coating

Step 1: Make the Nougat Filling

Melt the Butter and Honey: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and honey together over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Add the Marshmallows: Once the butter and honey are combined, add the mini marshmallows to the pan. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and gooey.
Stir in the Peanuts and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and fold in the salted peanuts and vanilla extract. Stir until the peanuts are evenly distributed throughout the nougat mixture.
Cool Slightly: Let the nougat mixture cool for a few minutes, but it should still be warm enough to spread easily.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwiches

Prepare the Crackers: Lay out half of the saltine crackers on a piece of parchment paper or a baking sheet. These will serve as the bottom layer of your sandwiches.
Add the Nougat: Spoon a generous amount of the nougat mixture onto each cracker. Use the back of a spoon to spread the nougat evenly across the crackers, but be careful not to let it spill over the edges.
Top with Another Cracker: Once the nougat is spread out, top each one with another cracker, pressing gently to form a sandwich. Continue until all the crackers and nougat are used up.
Let the Sandwiches Set: Place the assembled sandwiches in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the nougat to set and firm up a bit.

Step 3: Coat the Sandwiches in Chocolate

Melt the Chocolate: While the nougat sandwiches are setting, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, heating in 20-30 second intervals and stirring in between, or using a double boiler on the stovetop until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
Dip the Sandwiches: Once the chocolate is ready, dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. You can use a fork or tongs to gently lower the sandwiches into the chocolate, then lift them out and allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place on Wax Paper: Lay the coated sandwiches on a sheet of parchment or wax paper to let the chocolate set. You can also drizzle any leftover chocolate over the top for extra decoration.
Chill to Set the Chocolate: Place the chocolate-coated sandwiches back in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens and the sandwiches are fully set.

Tips for Perfect Salted Peanut Nougat Cracker Sandwiches

Use Fresh Peanuts: If you’re using salted peanuts, make sure they’re fresh for the best flavor. You can also toast the peanuts in a dry pan for a minute or two to enhance their flavor.
Choose Your Chocolate: You can customize the chocolate coating to your taste. Dark chocolate will add a more intense flavor contrast, while milk chocolate will be sweeter and creamier.
Substitute the Nuts: If you’re not a fan of peanuts or prefer a different flavor, feel free to swap them out for almonds, cashews, or even sunflower seeds for a different twist.
Don’t Skip the Chilling Time: For the best results, make sure to refrigerate the sandwiches for at least an hour to allow the nougat to set and the chocolate to harden. This ensures that the sandwiches hold their shape and texture.
