In a saucepan melt together butter and brown sugar. Bring it to a boil. Let it boil for 3 minutes.
Drizzle the caramel mixture over the crackers using a spatula to spread it out.
Place the pan in the oven. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until you see bubbling action.
Take out the pan from the oven. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Return it to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
