Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 sleeves Saltine crackers approximately 50 crackers
  • 10 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Toppings: toffee bits M&Ms, candy eyeballs, orange sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and line a 13x18 baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the saltine crackers on top in a single layer.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, and boil for 2-3 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly. Add the vanilla extract, and stir to combine.
  • Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the saltines, and use a rubber spatula to spread it out evenly.
  • Bake for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce is brown and bubbly.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and sprinkle the chocolate on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until melted, and use the spatula to spread it over the crackers in an even layer. Sprinkle the candy pieces and toppings on top.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the fridge to cool for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate has hardened. NOTE: Do not put the candy in the freezer as the ingredients will separate.
  • Break the candy into pieces, and enjoy!
  • Storage: Leftover cracker candy will stay fresh in an airtight container or sealable bag in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
