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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, edge to edge, covering the whole tray.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling and has set on the crackers.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped nuts and sea salt evenly over the melted chocolate to add texture and flavor.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
