Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Making the Base

  1. 3

    Melt Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Mix Sugars and Salt

    Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well until combined.

  3. 5

    Add Vanilla

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Assembling the Crack

  1. 6

    Layer Crackers

    Arrange a single layer of saltine crackers over the prepared baking sheet, covering the entire bottom.

  2. 7

    Pour Base Mixture

    Evenly pour the melted butter and sugar mixture over the saltine crackers, making sure to cover them completely.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly.

Adding Topping

  1. 9

    Melt Chocolate

    While the base layer is baking, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.

  2. 10

    Spread Chocolate

    Once the base has finished baking, remove it from the oven and immediately spread the melted chocolate over the hot mixture.

  3. 11

    Add Nuts (Optional)

    If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the melted chocolate for added texture and flavor.

Cooling and Serving
