Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 72 pieces Club crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan. Lightly spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
Place a single layer of 24 Club crackers on the bottom of the prepared pan.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and light corn syrup. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Remove the caramel mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour half of the caramel mixture evenly over the first layer of crackers, using a spatula to carefully spread it out if needed.
Place a second layer of 24 Club crackers over the caramel mixture, followed by the remaining caramel spread evenly over the top.
Add a final layer of 24 Club crackers over the second layer of caramel.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the top layer of crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the dessert is firm.
Once set, lift the edges of the aluminum foil to remove the dessert from the pan. Place on a cutting board and carefully cut into squares to serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
