Kitchen Scale (optional)
XL Baking Sheet (12x17)
1 sleeve Saltine crackers 128 grams (about 40 crackers) 1 cup unsalted butter 226 grams (2 sticks) 1 cup brown sugar 213 grams 2 cups chocolate chips 340 grams Seasonal sprinkles optional
Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray an XL baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Line the baking sheet completely with saltine crackers.
1 sleeve Saltine crackers
Place the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan set over med-low heat. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar
Increase the heat to med-high and bring to a boil. Stir continuously for approximately 2 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Pour the hot mixture over the crackers on the baking sheet. Spread the mixture around all crackers with a knife.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over crackers.
2 cups chocolate chips
Place back in the oven for 2 minutes to soften chocolate chips.
Spread chocolate over crackers with a knife.
Add sprinkles to make more festive, if desired. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill.
Seasonal sprinkles
Break off pieces and enjoy!
You can use light or dark brown sugar, it won't make a huge difference.
I like using unsalted butter, as the crackers already have a good amount of salt in them.
Top with seasonal M&M’s or Reese’s Pieces for additional variations
You can also melt chocolate chips separately and pour it over the crackers.
Butterscotch chips can be added along with the chocolate chips for an even sweeter touch.
