Method

  1. 1

    Bake. Heat oven to 175°C. Line a 12 x 43.2 cm jelly roll pan with foil. Put saltine crackers salt side up plus side-by-side in the pan as firmly as possible without overlapping. Use saltine pieces in order in order in order in order to fill any gaps at this bottom of the pan. Keep to one side. Chop chocolate so pieces are around the size of standard chocolate chips and keep to one side. Melt butter over a mid-sized flame mixing often with a spatula in a mid-sized saucepan. Add brown sugar and vanilla mixing to mix once butter has melted. Cook for around 5 minutes or till mixture is an even dark brown color plus has begun to bubble. Take out from heat and tip over saltines using spatula to spread sauce. Cook crackers for 5 minutes or till butter mixture begins to bubble. Take out from oven and scatter uniformly using chocolate allowing the heat in order to melt the chocolate. Spread chocolate uniformly using this spatula so all of the crackers are completely covered. Scatter with sea salt. Chill till chocolate sets and hardens. Break apart and serve.
