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.
