Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and arrange saltine crackers in a single layer, salted side down.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 3 minutes until thickened.
• Pour the hot sugar mixture evenly over the saltine crackers, spreading gently with a spatula to cover completely.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until bubbly and golden. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let sit for 2–3 minutes until melted, then spread evenly.
• In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the melted chocolate.
• Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. Break into pieces and serve.
