Order Groceries
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; arrange crackers in a single layer, salt-side down (be sure to cover the entire pan).
  3. Combine butter and sugar in a small pot over medium-high heat; stir occasionally while bringing the mixture to a boil. 
  4. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is a deep golden caramel color (about 3 min. longer).
  5. Immediately pour caramel evenly over the crackers; use a silicone spatula to spread caramel over crackers, covering them completely.
  6. Bake in preheated oven until crackers are very bubbly all over (about 6 min.). 
  7. Sprinkle chocolate chips over caramel; let sit for a couple of minutes, then spread hot chocolate evenly over crackers. (If necessary, pop the pan back in the oven to warm the chips and make them easier to spread.)
  8. Cool completely at room temperature; cut or break into pieces.
  9. Store at room temperature, tightly covered, for up to 5 days.
