So I’ll tell ya something not many people know about me (and now I’m putting it out there for the world…), I love eating saltine crackers with frosting…are we still friends?

I love to have an easy sweet & salty snack on hand.

What you’ll need:

40 salted saltine crackers* or enough to line your pan

1 cup unsalted butter*

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips

What you’ll do:

~Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Line saltine crackers in a single layer on the cookie sheet.

~In a small pot combine sugar and butter and bring to a boil.  Once mixture is at a boil, continue boiling for 3 minutes.  Mixture should be a deep caramel color.  Immediately pour over saltines and spread to cover crackers completely.

~Bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes. It will get all bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let sit a couple of minutes to melt. Or you can speed up the process and place back in the oven for 2 minutes, but if you do this keep your eye on it, very carefully.  Spread melted chocolate and top with chopped nuts if desired.  Cool completely and break into pieces.

*You can either use salted butter or salted saltines but not both. I used salted crackers and unsalted butter in this one.

Enjoy…
