Ingredients
saltine crackers (approx 40-50)
3/4 Cup butter
3/4 Cup light brown sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Toppings (whatever you like - here are some ideas)
m&ms (I chopped the m&ms, optional)
pretzel pieces
nuts (pecans, almonds, peanuts)
coconut
peanut butter chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Next, place crackers side by side, filling the cookie sheet. (see photo below)
In a sauce pan, over medium to medium-high heat, melt butter and brown sugar, bringing it to slow boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 3-5 minutes. Next, add 1 tsp of vanilla and boil for an additional minute. Remove and pour mixture over crackers and spread evenly. Bake crackers for 10 minutes on middle rack of oven.
When done in oven, remove and top with the chocolate chips. Allow the chocolate chips to stand for a few minutes, until they begin to melt, then spread them evenly over crackers. Next top with whatever you like - pecans, pretzels, m&ms, peanuts, almonds, coconut...have fun! You may need to press the toppings so they stick to the chocolate.
Allow to cool for 4-6 hours. For quicker setting, place cookie sheet in the fridge for approximately 20 minutes. Once chocolate is set, break or cut into pieces. Enjoy!
*I forgot to take a picture of the chocolate chips spread out after melting. Don't forget to spread them, once they begin to melt, BEFORE you sprinkle on the toppings!
