  2. Make the Caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine homemade caramel ingredients and stir over medium heat for about 7 minutes until bubbling and thickened.
  3. Layer the Crackers: Arrange a single layer of Club Crackers at the bottom of the baking dish, making sure they are packed tightly.
  4. Add the Caramel: Pour the hot caramel mixture over the crackers, spreading it evenly to ensure thorough coating.
  5. Add the Second Layer: Place another layer of Club Crackers on top of the caramel, packing them tightly again.
  6. Prepare the Topping: Melt together chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  7. Pour the Topping: Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the final layer of crackers.
  8. Finish and Salt: Before topping sets, sprinkle Maldon sea salt over the surface to enhance flavors.
