Whenever I take this to a get-together, it is a hit. I hope you bakers enjoy it as well.

Chocolate Caramel Graham Crackers

12 (4-3/4x2-1/2-inch) graham crackers

1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/8 tsp salt

1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup walnuts, pecans or almonds, chopped.

375 degrees. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang at each end.

Line bottom of pan with graham crackers (it will be a tight fit).

Melt butter in a heavy saucepan, add brown sugar and salt and cook, whisking, until mixture is smooth and combined well, about 1 minute.

Pour over crackers, spreading evenly, and bake in middle of oven until golden brown and bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Scatter chocolate chips evenly over crackers and bake until chocolate is soft, about 1 minute.

Remove pan from oven and gently spread chocolate evenly over crackers with offset spatula. Sprinkle nuts evenly over chocolate and cool crackers in pan 30 minutes. Freeze or chill in fridge until chocolate is set.

Carefully lift crackers from pan by grasping both ends of foil, then peel foil from crackers. Break crackers into serving pieces.
