Ingredients

40 saltine crackers
1 cup butter 2 sticks cut into cubes
1 cup℉ brown sugar℉ light or dark
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup m&m candies

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F.
Line a regular 15 x 10 sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment. Grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
Lay the crackers close together to line the bottom of the pan completely, breaking as needed to fit and fill in.
Add the butter and sugar to a medium size saucepan set over medium-low heat. Stirring contantly, bring to a rolling boil and cook for exactly 3 minutes (about 280 F).
Remove pan from heat and pour evenly over saltine crackers. Spread brown sugar mixture quickly with a spatula.
Bake for 8 minutes (caramel should be bubbling). Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Allow to sit 5 minutes.
Once melted, spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle M&M’s (or nuts) over the top and place in the freezer 15 minutes, or until hardened.
Allow to sit for 15 minutes on the counter. Flip over onto a cutting board and remove the foil. Break into pieces.
