Ingredients

• 40 pieces Saltine crackers
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring it covers the edges. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, covering the whole surface. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the packed brown sugar and stir until combined.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the caramel thickens slightly but does not burn.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately pour the caramel mixture evenly over the layer of crackers, spreading it gently with a spatula to cover all the crackers.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel-covered crackers. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate chips to soften.

Step 8

Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer. If desired, sprinkle sea salt lightly over the top for a salted caramel effect.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool completely. You can speed up the process by transferring the baking sheet to the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 10

Once cooled and set, break or cut the cracker cookies into pieces of your desired size. Serve and enjoy!
