Ingredients
1 Sleeve Ritz crackers (about 16 crackers)
1/2 Cup butter
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 Cup chocolate chips
Candy of choice for topping like crushed candy canes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425�F and line an 8" x 8" baking dish with parchment paper.
Cover the bottom of the pan with Ritz crackers. It doesn't have to be pretty! Just fit them in there in a single layer as best you can.
Combine the brown sugar and butter in a pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes WITHOUT stirring.
Immediately pour the mixture over the Ritz crackers in your pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly over the crackers. Bake for 5 minutes to thicken and set the caramel.
Remove from the oven, and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Place the pan back in the oven for about 2 minutes or until the chocolate is soft enough to spread.
Immediately spread the melted chocolate chips with a spatula so that you have a nice even layer.
Top with the candy of your choice (optional). My favorite is crushed peppermint candy! You can also try topping it with M&Ms, nuts, sprinkles, etc.
Let it cool for several hours before removing it from the pan and breaking it apart, otherwise it's a bit of a mess! I couldn't wait to dig in this time and the chocolate was still runny. Feel free to place it in the fridge for a bit if you need to speed up the process.
