Servings: 0
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Chop the pecans and portion the chocolate chips.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place the saltines on the sheet in a single layer.
- Make the caramel: Melt the butter and brown sugar together in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil. Watch it closely, stirring occasionally until combined and sugar is fully dissolved. Continue boiling, undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and pour caramel mixture over the cracker layer. Spread out with a spatula to cover the saltines evenly.
- Transfer the sheet to the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, or until just bubbly.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle immediately with chocolate chips.
- Return to the oven for 2 minutes, or until the chocolate begins to melt and look shiny.
- Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate evenly with a spatula.
- Immediately sprinkle with the pecans. Do this step quickly so that your toppings stick to the chocolate before it cools.
- Transfer the sheet to the freezer until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
- Once it is completely cool, break into pieces and enjoy!
