Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • offset spatula

Ingredients

  • 40 saltine crackers
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • optional: ¾ cup white chocolate chips, holiday sprinkles and/or chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Line a cookie sheet or a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. The baking sheet needs to have at least a ½ inch edge.
  • Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on the cookie sheet. Do not overlap.
  • In a small pot, combine the sugar and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, continue to cook for 3 minutes until the mixture reaches a deep caramel color. Don't leave the stovetop while it's boiling! Stir the mixture constantly.
  • After 3 minutes, immediately pour the caramel mixture over the saltines, spreading it to cover the crackers completely.
  • Bake in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes until bubbly and the crackers look like they are floating.
  • Carefully remove from the oven and (using a knife or off-set spatula), straighten any crackers that have shifted. Don't touch the crackers with your fingers, you'll get burned!
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and let them sit for a few minutes to melt. If the pan isn't hot enough, you can return it to the oven for a few minutes to melt the chocolate chips.
  • If you're also using white chocolate chips for decorating, spread those around the top as well.
  • Spread the melted chocolate evenly. Swirl the white chocolate. Top with chopped nuts, or holiday sprinkles.
  • Allow to cool completely. To speed up the process, place the pan in the fridge for a few minutes to set the chocolate.
  • Once set, break into pieces and enjoy!
