We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  • Step 2: Line a 15 x 10-inch baking pan with parchment paper or generously grease foil.

  • Step 3: Place crackers onto the baking sheet in one layer adding on more if needed to cover the pan.

  • Step 4: In a medium saucepan bring the butter and brown sugar to a boil over medium heat.

  • Step 5: When the mixture comes to a FULL boil, boil for 3 minutes (set timer for 3 minutes after mixture reaches a full boil) you may reduce the heat so that the mixture does not boil over the saucepan. Remove from heat then mix in vanilla.

  • Step 6: Immediately pour the hot mixture over the top of the crackers.

  • Step 7: Bake for about 5-6 minutes.

  • Step 8: Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crackers, then spread using a back of a spoon to smooth out and cover.

  • Step 9: Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the top or for the holidays, chopped candy canes.

  • Step 10: Cool about 15 minutes, then place in the refrigerator for about 3-4 hours or until set (these will harden like brittle after chilling).

  • Step 11: Break into pieces and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
