Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange saltine crackers in a single layer.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and cinnamon.
  3. Pour caramel mixture evenly over the crackers and spread gently to coat. Bake for 5 minutes until bubbly.
  4. Remove from oven and sprinkle with white chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then spread melted chocolate evenly over the top.
  5. Mix sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle generously over the melted chocolate. Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces.
