Photo: Sweet and Saltines Recipe
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 35 to 40 saltine crackers
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 1/3 cups)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
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, a few minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly.
Put the jelly-roll pan into the oven and bake for 3 to 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.
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.

This is such a great treat! This has become a new "staple" with my family and co-workers! I have changed it up a bit myself by using white chocolate chips or added chopped pecans and even coconut. My dad makes it all of the time and he has made it with chocolate and peanut butter mixed together and added chopped pecans! YUMMY!! Great recipe Trisha!! Thank you!

I used milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and used 1 1/2 sticks butter. Next time I will use just one stick of butter and maybe try the peanut butter chips. I salted the tops of a few after the chips went on which was nice. TIP: If you have a side-by-side freezer like me, opt to use 2 1/2 sheet pans as they will fit into the freezer - my large sheet pan didn't fit so I had to put it into the fridge for a while. I think pecans would be a lovely addition. This recipe is a keeper.

Tasty but I am underwhelmed, considering TY called this "crack" on tv!! I used semi sweet chocolate & it is kinda overpowering the other flavors. I also added some salt to brown sugar mixture, as I LOVE salty caramel flavored things. Didn't expect the floating saltines in the scalding hot sugar/ butter...re-adjusted them with a kitchen knife and all was well. I saw her make this in the show and that didn't happen to HER!! Lol!
