Trisha Yearwood’s Sweet and Saltines are the perfect sweet and salty snack. The crackers get topped with melted butter and brown sugar, then chocolate gets poured on top. Everything sets in the fridge while it cools and you get this super addicting snack!
This isn’t part of the recipe instructions, but I had a little leftover bacon from breakfast. I chopped some bacon up and added that to the top of the crackers to get a smoky hint with the sweet and salty combo. This is a completely optional step if you enjoy bacon like me. Just make sure to add the bacon to the top of the chocolate before it starts to set and have the bacon already cooked. It was pure heaven let me tell you.
Do not forget to spray the tinfoil before placing the crackers on top of tinfoil. They will stick pretty bad to the tinfoil if you don’t. Someone in the comments mentioned parchment paper also works instead of tinfoil.

How to make Sweet and Saltines
See and print the full recipe below.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Prep the baking sheet Line 1 large or 2 small jelly-roll pans with aluminum foil, spray with nonstick spray and arrange the saltines salt-side down in a single layer.
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.
Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. They will form one big sheet. Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
