Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 40 pieces saltine crackers
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups chocolate chips Make sure they are Halal-compliant
  • 1 cup chopped nuts Optional, can be replaced with seeds for nut-free version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, forming a tight grid.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring continuously. Allow it to boil for about 3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the saltine crackers using a spatula to spread it out.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until the caramel is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the caramel. Let sit for 5 minutes to melt.
  8. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer with a spatula.
  9. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts over the melted chocolate while it’s still warm.
  10. Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour, then break or cut into squares or rectangles.
