Ingredients
  

1 sleeve of saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)

Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it's large enough to hold the Saltine crackers in a single layer.

    Arrange the saltine crackers on the lined baking sheet in a single layer, covering the entire surface.

      In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil and bubbles for about 3 minutes.

        Carefully pour the hot butter and sugar mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, using a spatula to spread it gently and ensure all crackers are covered.

          Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until the bubbly mixture becomes golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning!

            Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the bubbling caramel. Wait a minute for the chocolate to melt, then use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly across the top.

              Sprinkle the chopped nuts and a pinch of sea salt over the melted chocolate layer for an added crunch and flavor.

                Let the chocolate cool at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set completely.

                  Once set, break the candy into pieces of various sizes.
