Time 15m

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

35 -40 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar or 1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1 1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
nuts (optional) or candy sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Line 1 large or 2 small jelly-roll pans with aluminum foil, spray with nonstick spray and arrange the saltines salt-side down in a single layer.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and boil until it turns a caramel color, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add one teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  • Pour over the crackers, covering them evenly.
  • Put the pan into the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully.
  • Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers.
  • When the chips melt a bit, spread them over the crackers with a knife.
  • Cool completely. You can put the pan into the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to get completely cold.
  • Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
