Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 40 pieces saltine crackers Crispy and salty, these crackers form the base of our decadent creation.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Rich and creamy, butter is the heart of our luscious caramel layer.
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar Elevates the caramel, deepening its flavor profile.
  • 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips Melting into a velvety layer.
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans Optional for nutty crunch.
  • to taste Kosher or sea salt For sprinkling on top (optional).

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your 9×13" jelly-roll pan by lining it with foil or parchment paper, then spraying it generously with nonstick spray.
  • Lay out the saltine crackers in a single, tight layer across the bottom of your prepared pan.

Making the Caramel

  • In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the light brown sugar. Bring this mixture to a full boil.
  • Once bubbling, continue boiling for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and pour it generously over the crackers, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Baking and Adding Chocolate

  • Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 5–8 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and perfectly golden.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel layer.
  • Let it sit for 1–2 minutes or pop it back in the turned-off oven for a single minute to melt the chocolate.
  • Spread the melted chocolate into an even layer over the caramel.
  • Sprinkle nuts and salt on top while the chocolate is still warm.

Cooling and Serving

  • Let the pan cool at room temperature for a while, then transfer it to the fridge for about 30–60 minutes to allow it to set completely.
  • Once set, break or cut into bite-sized pieces.

Notes

Ensure butter is unsalted for better taste control. Avoid rushing the caramelization for perfect consistency.
