"Bark" Saltine Cracker Cookies

Just recently we met a sweet lady in a class we were taking to learn about memory loss.  This lady was the caregiver to her husband and every week at class she brought the snack; it was her stress reliever to bake!  Billy thought this was just an amazing concoction.... and I had to agree; Calea and Kevin loved them too.   I think it has become our new favorite cookie!
In a 9 x 9 square pan line with saltine crackers.  If the edges don't work out I break them in half and lay them the best I can.
In a saucepan melt 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Bring to boil and continue while stirring for 3 minutes, lower heat during this time so you do not burn the carmel.
Pour over the crackers while hot, smooth with a spatula.
Bake at 400degrees in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle half a bag of milk chocolate chips over top.   Let stand about 2 minutes - they will melt - just smooth with the spatula over the top.    Then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.   Put in the fridge to cool and set.   In a couple of hours remove and just break into pieces like brittle.   Store in plastic container with lid in the fridge.
