Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces Salted soda crackers
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil. Grease the foil lightly with butter or non-stick spray for easy removal later.
Arrange the soda crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no gaps between the crackers.
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
Carefully pour the hot caramel mixture evenly over the soda crackers, spreading it with a spatula if necessary to coat all the crackers.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the caramel layer is bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel layer. Let the chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes to soften.
Once the chocolate is softened, use a spatula to spread it evenly across the caramel surface.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the melted chocolate layer for added texture and flavor.
Let the buttercrunch cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour or until fully set.
Once the buttercrunch is firm, remove it from the baking sheet and peel away the aluminum foil. Break it into irregular pieces and serve.
