Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
30 to 34 saltine crackers or enough to line the pan
1 cup salted butter, cut into cubes
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips, semi-sweet or milk chocolate
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Directions:
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper; spray with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Break the crackers in half if necessary to fit around the edges. Place the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and melt over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and immediately pour evenly over the saltine crackers. Use an offset spatula to spread it, ensuring that all the crackers are coated. In a preheated 350º oven bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until bubbling. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the mixture. Allow the chocolate chips to soften for about 3 to 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Cool at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes or until the pan can be handled easily, then refrigerate for 1 hour or until the chocolate is set. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Personal Notes:
These are so simple to make. Nobody ever guessed they were made from saltine crackers. Mom also substituted the saltines with graham crackers or Town House crackers on occasion for a different twist.
