Instructions

Prepare the baking sheet

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the soda crackers in a single layer.

Pro tip: Ensure the crackers touch but do not overlap.

Make the caramel

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a boil.

Pro tip: Use a candy thermometer to ensure the caramel reaches 250°F (121°C).

Pour caramel over crackers

Carefully pour the hot caramel over the soda crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Pro tip: Work quickly to cover all crackers before the caramel sets.

Bake the cookies

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until the caramel is bubbly.

Add chocolate

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel. Let them sit for 2 minutes until melted.

Pro tip: Use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.

Finish with nuts

Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate. Let the cookies cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Pro tip: Use a sharp knife to cut the cookies into uniform pieces once set.
