Ingredients

48 saltine crackers less than 2 sleeves
1 ½ cups unsalted butter or 3 sticks
1 ½ cups light brown sugar or 300 grams, packed or dark brown sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Christmas sprinkles optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F, line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
Arrange crackers side by side on prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar. Bring to a steady boil for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Keep in mind that too much stirring can cause the caramel to separate.
Pour and evenly spread caramel over crackers (work quickly here, it will harden fast), and bake for 8-10 minutes or until it starts to gently bubble.
Once you remove the sheet from oven sprinkle chocolate chips over top. Once it starts to look melty (about 2 minutes), spread it evenly over the caramel using an offset spatula.
Top with any sprinkles as desired (or not).
Let set at room temperature or refrigerate for 2 hours, then break into pieces.
