CHOCOLATE COVERED SALTINES

When I was first given one of these to try, I wasn't told what it was. I was just told to taste it. It was love at first bite! I couldn't believe it when I was told that this sweet, crunchy treat was made with saltine crackers!

Ingredients

40 (at least) Saltine Crackers - depends on the size of your baking      

   sheet

¾ cup white granulated sugar

1½ sticks softened butter (Unsalted is best, but salted works)

2  cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

   Place crackers in a single layer, end to end on a parchment paper lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. 

   In a large saucepan, bring butter and sugar to a boil. 

   Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened and sugar is completely dissolved. Pour and spread over crackers.

1.    Bake at 350° for 7-8 minutes or until bubbly. 
2.    Remove from oven and sprinkle with the semisweet chocolate chips. Bake 3-5 minutes longer or until chips begin to melt
3.    Remove from oven. With spatula (knife or back of spoon) spread chocolate evenly over top. Let cool.
4.    Once completely cooled, break into pieces like nut brittle.
5.    These must be kept refrigerated. (I keep mine in the freezer!)
6.    You can also go crazy with these. While chocolate on top is still hot, sprinkle with chopped nuts, raisins, broken pretzel bits, crushed candy canes, or anything else that sounds tasty to you. 
7.    Once cooled, you can also swirl with melted white chocolate across the top.
