Ingredients
- 1 sleeve of saltine crackers about 35-40 crackers
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and spray lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer to cover the pan.
- Make the Caramel: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil, then let it boil for 3 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the hot caramel evenly over the crackers, spreading it gently with a spatula. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly.
- Add Chocolate: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for a few minutes to melt, then spread the chocolate evenly over the top with a spatula.
- Chill and Break: Let the bark cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Once firm, break into pieces and enjoy!
