Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Arrange the saltines salt-side down in a single layer on the sheet.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add in the light brown sugar, and stir until thoroughly blended.
Let it boil gently for about 3 minutes.
Pour the butter and sugar mixture evenly over the arranged crackers.
Using a spatula, spread it out if needed to cover all the crackers.
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven.
Bake for about 3 to 5 minutes, watching it closely until the mixture is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot crackers.
Wait a moment until they start melting, then spread the chocolate evenly.
