ingredients
Saltine Cracker Candy
- 1 - sleeve saltine crackers (about 48)
- 1 cup - (2 sticks) butter
- 1 cup - firmly packed light brown sugar
- 12 ounces - bittersweet chocolate morsels
- 1/2 cup - chopped pecans or other nuts
Prep time5 minutes
Cook Time16 minutes
Serves10 to 12
Directions
- Heat the oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Arrange the crackers in a single layer on the pan.
- Cook the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and smooth, stirring slowly. When it begins to bubble, cook for 3 minutes while stirring.
- Pour slowly and evenly over the crackers. The crackers might float a little, but that's fine, just move them back in place with the tip of a knife and make sure all of the crackers are covered in the sugar mixture.
- Bake 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate morsels evenly over the top.
- Return to the oven until the chips begin to melt and lose their shape, about 1 minute.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface and sprinkle with pecans.
- Let stand until nearly set and then chill until firm, at least 2 hours. Break into pieces. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.
