Prep 5 mins Bake 425° 2 mins to 4 mins Cook 5 mins Freeze 15 mins to 20 mins

Ingredients

• 40 saltine crackers*
• 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 1/3 cups)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and the saltine crackers.

2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly. Bake for 2 to 4 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching closely to avoid burning. 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. Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. They will form one big sheet. Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

From the Test Kitchen*•Substitute 24 graham cracker for the saltines for a sweeter snack and use 1 stick butter. Boil brown sugar-butter mixture for 3 minutes.
