Ingredients
Scale
- About 40 salted crackers, enough to line a 9 by 13 inch pan
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate candy bars, chopped
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9 by 13 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange salted crackers in a single tight layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly.
- Immediately pour the hot caramel evenly over the crackers and spread gently with a spatula.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the caramel is bubbling all over.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top. Let sit for 5 minutes to melt, then spread into a smooth layer.
- Sprinkle chopped chocolate candy pieces and chopped nuts over the melted chocolate and press lightly so they stick.
- Let cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until set, then slice into 24 squares.
Notes
- Boil the caramel for the full 3 minutes to ensure proper texture.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean slicing.
- Allow the dessert to cool completely before cutting for clean layers.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
