Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a nine by 13″ pan with foil or parchment paper. If you don’t have foil or parchment paper, spray a cooking spray on the pan.

Next, spread crackers in a single layer in the pan. I used a heavy saucepan over medium heat to bring the butter and brown sugar mixture to a boil. Note that this recipe can be doubled and made in a jelly roll pan.

After removing the Easter cracker candy from the oven, sprinkle the white candy melts and spread with a spatula. While still hot, add sprinkles and candies. Cool completely, then remove the candy from the pan using the foil.

@Ava, the cooking time is 3 minutes in the saucepan and 7 minutes in the oven. The basic recipe is crackers, butter, brown sugar, and melted candy topping. However, I like to add a garnish of candies and/or nuts.
