Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces Saltine crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease it lightly or use parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, edge to edge, covering the whole tray.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly as the mixture comes to a boil, then let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring to create a toffee-like caramel.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately pour the hot caramel over the crackers, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure all the crackers are coated.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling and has set on the crackers.
Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel-coated crackers. Let them sit for a minute to soften, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer across the crackers.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts and sea salt evenly over the melted chocolate to add texture and flavor.
Allow the tray to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for about 1 hour to fully set the chocolate and caramel.
Once cooled and set, break the crackers into bite-sized pieces and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
