Ingredients
  

  • 40 Saltine Crackers Or enough for a single layer on a 10x15 inch pan
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Cut into pieces
  • 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tsp Flaky Sea Salt For sprinkling

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single, tight layer across the pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat, stirring until combined. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring.
  3. Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture over the crackers and spread evenly. Bake for 5-6 minutes, until the caramel is bubbly all over.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel. Let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the chips to melt, then spread the chocolate into a smooth layer with a spatula.
  5. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate. Let it cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until firm. Once set, break into pieces and serve.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Variations: Feel free to add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other toppings along with the sea salt.
Tip: Do not skip lining the pan with parchment paper, as the caramel is very sticky and this will make cleanup much easier.
