Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 13 minutes

Servings:

Ingredients

50 saltine crackers
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter , cubed
1 cup light brown sugar , packed
2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 - 1 cup M&M’s , or chopped nuts or sliced almonds

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray and then line the pan with saltine crackers.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the butter and sugar over low medium-low heat. Stir until the butter is melted and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, or until it is bubbling and amber in color. Remove pan from heat and pour evenly over saltine crackers. Spread mixture with a knife, but it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Place pan in the oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes. The mixture will spread evenly over the crackers as it bakes.
Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let melt and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle M&M’s (or nuts) on top and place in the freezer 15 minutes.
Once chocolate has hardened, break pieces off the foil and store in an airtight container 1 to 2 weeks.
