Instructions
Instructions
Line an 8-inch baking pan with foil (leave an overhang to lift the candy out later) and spray the foil with cooking spray.
Arrange about one-third of the Club crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared pan, breaking crackers as needed so the entire bottom is covered.
In a large saucepan combine the sweetened condensed milk, packed brown sugar, light corn syrup, and cubed butter.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to maintain a low, steady boil and cook, stirring frequently, for 7 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and immediately pour about one-third of the hot mixture over the first cracker layer; use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Place another one-third of the crackers in a single layer over the caramel, fitting or breaking crackers as needed. Press gently so they contact the caramel.
If the caramel has thickened, return the saucepan to very low heat just until it is pourable, then pour another one-third of the hot mixture over the second cracker layer and spread evenly.
Add the remaining crackers in a single layer on top, then pour the remaining caramel mixture evenly over them and spread to cover.
Immediately sprinkle the semi‑sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot caramel. Let them sit 2 to 3 minutes to soften and melt, then carefully spread into a smooth, even chocolate layer.
Cover the pan and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.
Use the foil overhang to lift the candy from the pan and cut into rectangles about 3 × 1 inches each.
