Instructions
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spray lightly with no-stick cooking spray. Arrange crackers on baking sheet in single layer so that the edges almost touch.
- Heat butter and brown sugar in 2-quart saucepan on medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt and vanilla.
- Pour caramel sauce over crackers and spread to evenly coat crackers. Bake 6 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven. Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over caramel layer. Let stand 5 minutes. Spread chocolate chips into an even layer on top of caramel. Decorate with Finishing Sugar, candy and sprinkles, as desired.
- Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or freeze 30 to 45 minutes or until firm. Break or cut into pieces to serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
