Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.
• Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and sugar. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Pour the caramel mixture over the crackers and spread evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let sit for 5 minutes until melted, then spread evenly.
• Sprinkle chopped nuts on top if desired, and cool completely before breaking into pieces.
