Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; coat the foil with non-stick cooking spray. Place the saltine crackers on the prepared baking sheet, fitting edge to edge, approximately 5 crackers wide by 7 crackers in length. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar. Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly, boil for 2 minutes. Pour the mixture over the saltine crackers and spread in an even layer. Bake 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Immediately top with the chocolate chips; return to oven and bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, just until the chocolate has melted. Remove from oven. Spread chocolate chips into an even layer. Top with red and green M&Ms, and holiday sprinkles. Cut into squares, but leave on baking sheet; cool until the chocolate has set.
