Ingredients

• 1 sleeve saltines
• 2 sticks butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 bags chocolate ships
• 1/2 cup peppermints, whole

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Put peppermints into a zippered bag, crush with rolling pin.
• Line baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Arrange the saltines (salt-side down) in a single layer on the tray.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and boil until it turns a caramel color, a few minutes.
• Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly.
• Put the jelly-roll pan into the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just bubbly, watching carefully.
• Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers.
• When the chips melt a bit, spread them over the crackers with a knife.
• Sprinkle peppermint topping
• Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. This will form one big sheet.
• Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
