Equipment

Large non-stick baking sheet
Medium Saucepan
Offset spatula

Ingredients

40-50 saltine crackers enough to fill the bottom of the pan
1 cup butter 2 typical sticks
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar plus 2 Tablespoons
3 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat a nonstick baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Line crackers end to end on a non-stick baking sheet, breaking crackers to fill in any extra spaces, if needed.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add brown sugar and turn heat to medium. Continue stirring until boiling, then boil for 3 minutes.
Pour the caramel mixture over crackers and spread evenly, working quickly.
Put the baking sheet with caramel topped crackers into oven and bake for 5 minutes.
Take pan out of the oven and scatter the chocolate chips on top. Cover with a sheet of foil and allow the chocolate chips to melt for 3 minutes.
Remove the foil and spread chocolate in an even layer. If using nuts, sprinkle them on top now.
Cover and refrigerate until set.

Prep Notes:

Toppings: We use chopped pecans, but walnuts, almonds, peanuts, sprinkles, or crushed candy canes all work.
Pan Size: An 18×13-inch sheet pan is ideal, but anything similar in size is fine.
Storage: Cool completely, break into pieces, and store airtight at room temp for up to 2 weeks. Use parchment between layers.
