Ingredients
Saltines - to fill the baking sheet (40 fits on mine). I use the whole wheat ones.Butter (do not substitute), 1/2 cupGranulated Sugar 1/3 cupVanilla extract 1 TspSemisweet chocolate chips 2 cups
Directions
**Line a greased baking sheet with saltines (salted if you use unsalted butter, unsalted if you use salted butter).

**Melt 1/2c butter (only butter!) and stir in 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Once melted spread over crackers evenly

**Bake at 350degF for about 8-10min until sugar caramelizes.

**Immediately sprinkle 2c chocolate chips evenly over the crackers. Once they melt spread the chocolate over the crackers.

**Refrigerate until cooled and break into pieces.

**Some Notes on my Edits (Mar 23, 2007):

1. Nutritional information is calculated estimating a serving size of 1 saltine= 1 serving.

2. 40 saltines fit on my baking sheet (I was going off of memory before and I was way off on the size of the saltines)

3. I found whole wheat saltines at the grocery store and think they give better flavor (nuttier) and more fiber.

     I made these with a few substitutions and they are delicious!! I used Splenda instead of sugar,cut the butter down to 1/4 c and the choc chips down to 1 c and they are only 43.3 cals per cracker and still delicious!!. Now I can have 3 or 4!! - 4/2/09

     Very surprising! I used Splenda as well, wondering if brown sugar would give it more of a caramel flavor. Also used only half of the chocolate to save calories, and it still satisfies my sweet tooth. - 4/11/13

     These were very good, however, they make so many and it adds up to too many calories for me...I think I better leave them alone. They are delicious tho. - 2/4/10

  • ARINDANA
     I have a similar recipe, named Homemade Skor Bars, but with only 3 ingredients and 1-1-1 ratio. Interesting when recipes are different but similar! - 2/19/09
  • RUTHIE816
     Sounds like something that a chocaholic could get into. I'm going to try it this week. Tks. - 1/11/09

     I haven't made these YET ;) but I'm sure I will. These sound delicious! Also MAJOR KUDOS for using real sugar and not that artificial stuff made in a lab! - 1/11/09
  • ICANIWILL1
     These sound delish but knowing me, I will gobble the lot.
    this is not for me, I'm afraid. too many trigger foods to just stop at 1 serving. - 1/11/09
  • CREARICK1
     I will make again - 1/11/09
  • ANGELCOWBOY1
     They sound 'sinful' - could I stop at just 1? - 1/11/09

     Salty and sweet combo are good. Have you considered trying graham crackers for a "smores" type flavor? - 12/30/08
  • KRISLEEB

     I make a similar recipe, calls for brown sugar. The butter and sugar are boiled for five minutes, then poured over the crackers, which only bake for 5 minutes. After the chocolate is spread, sprinkle on a small pkg of Planter's Nut Topping. Excellent. - 1/31/08
