Cracker Candy (aka Christmas Crack)

Crackers never tasted so good! 
 
1 cup unsalted butter 
(Do NOT use margarine for this. 
Salted butter is Ok!)
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
40 saltine crackers (approx 1 sleeve of crackers)
 
Line cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper. 
If you are using foil then it's a good idea to spray with non stick spray.  
Lay the saltines on cookie sheet in one layer right next to one another with no gaps~ 
I usually fall short about 3 short of covering the cookie sheet but that's okay. 
Set aside. 
 
Place butter and brown sugar in saucepan over medium heat. 
When mixture boils turn down heat and simmer 3 minutes. 
Do not stir or whisk while cooking.

Pour the hot caramel mixture over the crackers.
 You might have to do a little bit of spreading to the edges with a spoon

Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in the microwave or double boiler and
pour into plastic ziploc sandwich bag. 
 
Snip a tiny corner off of the bag.   

Drizzle chocolate on top hitting the outside of the crackers. 
Yum!
