Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a 9x13inch baking pan with parchment paper; lightly spray the pan with pan spray so the parchment paper sticks to the pan.
- Line the saltine crackers in the baking pan; set aside.
- In a medium size pot, melt the butter and sugar together. On low, simmer for approximately 5 minutes. Be sure to constantly stir the mixture so it does not burn on the bottom.
- Pour the mixture over the saltine crackers, spread evenly and bake for approximately 5-8 minutes. You want the mixture to be bubbling evenly, over the crackers, if not bake for another minute or two.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle the chocolate evenly, over the mixture brown sugar mixture. Let it sit for 2-4 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has started to melt, using a spatula spread the melted chocolate evenly and then sprinkle the sprinkles and M&M’s on top.
- Let it cool at room temperature for 10-15 then put in the refrigerator to set for approximately 2 hours.
- Once the chocolate has set and the sugar mixture is firm, remove from the baking pan and cut into 16-36 pieces.
Notes
- If the chocolate does not melt, you can place the pan back into the warm oven for a minute to help soften it.
- To spread the chocolate evenly, I suggest using an offset metal spatula
- I cut the bars into 16, but they can easily be cut into 36 pieces, because the recipe is very sweet!
- Keep the bars stored in the refrigerator and remove for a minimum of 20 minutes before serving
- The bars can be kept in the freezer for if they are made further in advance!
