Ingredients

• 40 saltine crackers (or any square crackers)

• 1 cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

• Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the crackers in a single layer.

2. Make the caramel layer: In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. Bring to a boil for 1-2 minutes.

3. Top the crackers: Pour the hot caramel evenly over the crackers, spreading it with a spatula to coat them completely.

4. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, just until the caramel is bubbly.

5. Add chocolate: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for a few minutes, then spread until smooth.

6. Optional toppings: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, sea salt, or colorful sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft.

7. Set and serve: Allow the candy to cool at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator until firm. Break into pieces and enjoy!

Tips and Variations

• Chocolate variations: Try milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a mix of chocolate chips for different flavors.

• Extra crunch: Add a layer of crushed pretzels for a salty twist.

• Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer shelf life.
