Equipment

  • large rimmed baking sheet
  • dry measuring cup
  • chef's knife
  • small saucepan
  • small offset spatula

Ingredients

  • 48 saltine crackers (a little more than 1 sleeve of crackers)
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips
  • ⅔ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a aluminum foil and parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Combine the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once bubbles begin to form, cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Immediately pour the mixture over the saltines and spread to cover completely. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the crackers. Let stand for 5 minutes or until melted.
  • Spread the chocolate evenly over the crackers. Sprinkle with the pecans and salt and let cool until hardened before breaking into large pieces.
