INGREDIENTS

½ cup unsalted butter

½ cup brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

12 chocolate or plain graham crackers (half a 14-ounce box)

1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips (9 ounces)

1 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (or other nuts), chopped

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375F.

Melt the butter, brown sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Cook until smooth, about five minutes, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, line a 15x10 rimmed baking sheet with foil, leaving a slight overhang. Arrange the crackers in a single layer on the sheet, breaking to fit as necessary. Pour the butter mixture over the crackers, spreading evenly and completely covering the crackers. Bake for 10 minutes.

Scatter chips evenly over top, return to oven until chocolate softens, 2 – 3 minutes. With a spatula, spread melted chocolate evenly over the crackers. Sprinkle nuts evenly over top the chocolate.

Cool for 30 minutes, then transfer to freezer for 15 minutes. Remove foil, then break crackers into pieces about 1½ inches square.
