40 salted saltine crackers or enough to line your pan
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Line saltine crackers in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
In a small pot combine sugar and butter and bring to a boil. Once
mixture is at a boil, continue boiling for 3 minutes. Mixture should be a
deep caramel color. Immediately pour over saltines and spread to cover
crackers completely. Make sure you pour it slowly and cover the whole pan. You can not use a knife to spread this out because it wont spread.
Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes. It will get all bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let sit a couple of minutes to melt. Sometimes I melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 1 minute then spread it on** I melted it before hand for 30sec. but it was completely unnecessary The chips melt instantly when they are sprinkled over the crackers**. Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts if desired. Cool completely and break into pieces.**I let people eat this about a couple hours after it had sat. It honestly took a whole night to have the whole thing set and taste AMAZING**
