Valentine Crack

 Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. Cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of Ritz or Saltine crackers.

  • 1 sleeve Ritz or Saltine Crackers (about 16 crackers)
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • candy of choice for topping (optional)

Combine the butter and brown sugar in a pan and heat until melted.

Boil for 3 minutes

Immediately pour it over the crackers in your pan.

Use a spatula to spread it out evenly over the crackers.

Bake for 5 minutes to help the “caramel” thicken and set.

Remove from the oven

Top with chocolate chips.

Place back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the chocolate, and then immediately spread the chocolate into an even layer over the crackers.

Top with candy, nuts or sprinkles (optional). Be sure to let it cool for several hours before breaking it apart, otherwise it will be a little messy.
