Prep: 10 min · Cook: 8 min · Yield: 24 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 40 crackers saltine crackers
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup pecans

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed 10-by-15-inch baking sheet with foil or parchment, and arrange the saltine crackers in a single, snug layer. (about 5 min) — 350°F
2. Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Bring the mixture to a full boil and boil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. (about 3 min) — Medium heat
3. Pour the hot butter mixture evenly over the crackers and spread gently with a spatula if needed. Bake until bubbling across the surface, about 5 minutes. (about 5 min) — 350°F
4. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Let stand for 2 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate into an even layer. Sprinkle with the pecans and press them lightly into the chocolate. (about 3 min)
5. Cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Lift the slab from the pan and break or cut it into pieces. Store airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week. (about 60 min)
