INGREDIENTS:
1/4 (16 ounce) package saltine crackers (may need a few more depending on the size of your sheet pan)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I use a whole bag of Nestle Minis)
1/2 pound butter (2 sticks)
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (or other nuts...if desired)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Cover sheet pan or cookie sheet (with raised edges, not totally flat) with aluminum foil and arrange crackers in a single layer.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, and bring to a low boil. Continue boiling, stirring constantly to prevent burning, approximately 3 minutes. You want the butter and sugar to be completely blended, no layer of melted butter on top or sides of sauce pan. Drizzle sugar mixture evenly over crackers (I also spread with a spoon back if needed).
4. Bake at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top. As they melt, I like to smooth the warm chocolate with a spatula for a more even layer of chocolate. Sprinkle with nuts, gently pressing into the melted chocolate. Cool in refrigerator until chocolate has hardened, and break into pieces. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
I also substitute the saltines with graham crackers and white chocolate chips. Delicious, but the white chocolate doesn’t usually melt as evenly as regular chocolate.
