Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve of saltine crackers
- 1 cup butter don't use margarine
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, peanuts or whatever you like. You can toast nuts if you want.)
Instructions
- Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. I used an 18 x 13 x 1 inch pan. You need the lip on the pan to keep liquid from running off in your oven. Spread the crackers on the pan like in the photo below. In a pan on top of the stove combine the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil on medium heat and then boil for 3 minutes. DO NOT STIR WHILE BOILING.
- Remove from stove after boiling 3 minutes and spread over the saltine crackers with a knife. The mixture should be at soft ball stage or should make a soft ball when a little is dropped in ice water. Have your oven preheated to 400 degrees. Place baking sheet in oven for 3 minutes on middle rack. Remove after 3 minutes and sprinkle on chocolate chips. Put back in oven for another minute to let chocolate chips melt. Remove and spread out the melted chips with a knife. Sprinkle on nuts and kind of mash into chocolate. Refrigerate until hard (about 2 or 3 hours) or could put in freezer for a while. Break into pieces. Makes a 1 1/2 quart container full. Store in air tight container in a cool place. If you prefer it cold, the refrigerator is fine too.
