Ingredients

Instructions

  • Arrange crackers in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  • Place the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt in a medium pot and bring to a bubble, stirring often.
  • Attach a candy thermometer, and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, to 280 degrees F.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the baking soda, and pour over the crackers.
  • Immediately scatter the pecans evenly over the surface, pressing lightly with the back of a spatula.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, and the mini chocolate chips.
  • Cool completely (10 minutes in the freezer speeds up the process), and break into shards.

Notes

The alcohol in the bourbon will evaporate during the cooking process. ©Baking a Moment
