Instructions
For the Crust and Filling:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.Line a 8x8-inch baking dish with foil (I used non stick foil) and spray with non stick cooking spray.
Arrange saltines in a even layer on the bottom of the baking dish overlapping some to anchor down the crackers.
In a medium saucepan, bring butter and brown sugar to a boil over medium-high heat
TIP: Make sure the sugar mixture is at a COMPLETE BOIL before cooking to the 2 minutes.
Cook for 2 minutes.
REMOVE FROM HEAT AND STIR IN THE SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
Slowly pour over crackers.
Use a spatula to make sure all the crackers are covered.
Bake 10 minutes.
