Christmas Crack (Yep, it's that addicting!)
1 pan makes about 4 dozen little bars or “cookies”
Ingredients:
2 1/2 Sticks of butter (1 1/4 cups)
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
4 dozen saltine crackers
12 oz chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Line up saltine crackers (yep, saltines) in rows - all in a single layer.
Microwave the butter to melt. Then in a saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar. Stir constantly-or it will burn.
Bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes exactly and continue to stir and scrape the sides of the saucepan constantly.
Pour the melted butter/sugar combo over the crackers. Spread gently and evenly over the surface of all the crackers. Try not to disturb their places, you want them to remain in a single layer and not overlap.
Bake for 5 min.
The sugar will bubble up significantly but will settle down quickly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Allow to rest for a few minutes until all the chips are nice and shiny. Spread them with a knife or flat spatula, like you are frosting.
I break up almonds over the top but you could use pistachios or any other nut you like.
Refrigerate for 1 hour and break into pieces. Serve.
