*from afternoonbakingwithgrandma.com

Ingredients:
1 tube of saltines ( 40 crackers +)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter (either salted or unsalted; do not use margarine)
1 cup + 2 Tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
1 bag chocolate chips (I like semi-sweet)
1/2 to 3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
Line cookie sheet with foil & spray with non-stick cooking spray. 
Line crackers end to end on sheet, breaking crackers to fit the end if necessary. 
In a saucepan, melt butter on low heat. Once melted, add brown sugar and turn heat to medium. Continue stirring until boiling – then boil for 3 minutes (set timer). 
Pour over crackers, spread evenly working quickly. 
Put sheet into oven – bake for 5 minutes. 
Remove – pour chocolate chips over top – place a sheet of foil over and let melt for 3 minutes. Spread melted chocolate over the top evenly. 
Add nuts to top – replace foil and refrigerate until set
