Preheat oven to 400. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place saltines on foil to cover, breaking them as necessary to completely line the pan. (I normally use one sleeve of saltines)
Melt butter and brown sugar, stirring well. Boil for 2 minutes.
Pour evenly over crackers. Bake for 7 minutes.
Note that the crackers may float, so be ready with a knife to gently put them back into place.
Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top of the crackers and spread as a frosting.
If they don’t melt, put them in the oven for a while. Sprinkle nuts on top (if desired) patting them in. Cool in fridge or freezer. When cold, peel off foil, and break into pieces.
Enjoy!

My kids love this stuff! My 13 yr old daughter makes it often (that's how easy it is to make).

My mother in law makes this for my husband – although she doesn't take the time to melt the chocolate chips – I think melting them would take it to a whole other level! My aunt makes it with graham crackers on the bottom, which is kind of amazing too.

Chocolate doesn't last long at our house. I also come from a family of lovers of chocolate. This looks so yummy Rene!! Nice and easy, too. I might need to make this tonight while watching the Olympics.

We call this Christmas crack. I normally make it during the holidays and clearly, it's addicting!

i must be hiding under a rock or something, because I have never seen this recipe before! The saltines have me really intrigued. This looks so easy to make, and I am a true lover of salt and chocolate combined. May have to give this a try soon!

This is one of my all-time favorite snacks. In the past I've used left over chocolate bars for the topping. Jo @ Let's Face the Music
