# Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil and spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.

Place the saltine crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Break crackers in half if necessary to fit entirely.

Melt butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and pour evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading with an offset spatula to coat all crackers.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until bubbling.

Allow the pan to cool at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes until it can be handled. Then, refrigerate for 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.
