Cooking spray
35 to 40 saltine crackers
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
1 cup light brown sugar
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 1/3 cups)

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and boil until it turns a caramel color, a few minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly. Put the jelly-roll pan into the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully. Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the candy from burning.
  • Have all of your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start cooking: This will help to ensure that the candy cooks evenly.
  • Do not stir the candy while it is cooking: Stirring will cause the sugar to crystallize and the candy will not be smooth.
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the candy: This will help to ensure that the candy reaches the correct temperature and does not overcook.
  • Work quickly once the candy reaches the correct temperature: The candy will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to pour it into the prepared pan.
  • Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces: This will help to prevent the candy from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Crackle candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sugar and corn syrup, and it is also a fun activity to do with children. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect crackle candy at home.
