Ingredients
- Saltine Crackers (about half a box)
- 2 sticks salted butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup salted nuts
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 × 15 jelly roll pan with foil and spray heavily with Pam.
-
Cover the pan completely with a single layer of Saltines, salt side up. Break crackers to fill in the spaces. Set aside. Combine butter, sugar and vanilla in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a full boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly 5 minutes stirring the entire time. Pour over the crackers (I spread the caramel out a bit to almost cover all the crackers) and sprinkle with the nuts. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and cool completely in pan on wire rack if possible.
-
When cool, carefully peel off the foil and break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
