Trisha Yearwood Sweet and Saltines Recipe

This Trisha Yearwood recipe turns simple saltines into something that tastes like a high-end candy shop creation.
Cooking the butter and sugar mixture until it’s deep golden is what gives these that signature snap when they cool.
I sprinkle flaky sea salt on top right after the chocolate melts—it makes every bite pop just a little more.
Cutting them before they fully set helps get clean, even pieces instead of jagged shards.
