Preheat oven to 400F.

Melt butter, mix in sugar, and bring to a boil, stirring continuously for 3 minutes
- Remove from heat and add vanilla flavoring
-
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray
-
Cover the cookie sheet completely with saltine crackers.
-
Pour the sugar and butter mixture over the crackers.
-
Put the cookie sheet in the oven for 6 minutes.
-
Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1 cup dark chocolate chips.

Let sit until the chocolate chips become soft and shiny. (2-3 minutes)

Spread chocolate with a flat knife to cover the entire pan.
-
Sprinkle with toasted, chopped pecans or favorite nuts.
