2. Arrange Saltines:

   • Place saltine crackers face side up on the greased cookie sheet, fitting them snugly without overlapping.

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Prepare Butter Crunch Topping:

   • Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over the melted chocolate.

8. Score and Cool:

   • Using a sharp knife, score the surface into squares approximately the size of the saltines.
   • Refrigerate the cookie sheet for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

9. Cut into Squares:
