Ingredients
1 sleeve Saltine Crackers (I like salted ones, but it’s also good with unsalted crackers)
I package (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts or peanuts (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line cookie sheet with foil, then lay out Saltine Crackers in a single layer.
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and the butter. Bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes till foamy and thickened. Immediately pour over Saltine Crackers and spread the mixture to cover the crackers completely.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 5 or 6 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let sit for 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate over top of candy. Sprinkle top with chopped nuts if desired.
Cool completely (about 1/2 day or more) and break into pieces. When it has hardened, it is a buttery toffee with chocolate, and a nice crisp center. Will keep in an airtight container till someone discovers it is there and polishes off the lot. People go mad for it. Trust me.
