Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 sticks of butter
  • cups brown sugar
  • 1 sleeve of saltine crackers
  • 10 oz. peanut butter chips
  • 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on top.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved, creating a caramel-like mixture.
  • Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the saltine crackers, making sure to cover them evenly.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the caramel is bubbling.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the peanut butter chips evenly over the hot caramel.
  • Allow the peanut butter chips to melt for a few minutes, then use a spatula to spread them evenly over the caramel layer.
  • Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the peanut butter layer and let them melt for a few minutes.
  • Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted chocolate, pressing them gently into the surface.
  • Allow the pecan cracker candy to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
  • Once cooled and hardened, break the candy into small pieces and serve.
