AWESOME make at home dessert for pot lucks!
1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 sleeve Saltines
1 pkg milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (I use Pecans)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Line a cookie sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.
3. Place saltines in one layer over entire cookie sheet. I think the sheet I use is 11x16 and I have maybe 4 saltines leftover after cutting one row to cover the entire sheet.
4. Combine the butter and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
5. Simmer on low heat for 3 minutes to caramelize.
6. Pour/spread over saltines
7. Bake saltines for 5 minutes so the caramel mixture melts into the crackers.
8. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over entire tray
9. Cover with another tray to melt chips (about 5-10 minutes)
10. Spread chocolate evenly
11. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and slightly press into chocolate to make them stick
12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to harden or in the freezer for 30-45 minutes
13. Peel off foil and break into pieces.
Note: I find that I like these with a little more of the caramel mixture so I add 2-3 extra tablespoons of butter and maybe another ¬ cup of brown sugar before melting and caramelizing. I think this depends on the size of your cookie sheet though.
campingboatersI have made this before and I used butterscotch chips instead of choc. chips...yum!
campingboatersYES, I want more sugar.
campingboatersmmmm... butterscotch chips... THAT does sound yummy. I guess I ll just have to give them a whirl! I think the people here at work wouldn t mind being my guinea pigs for THAT! [;)]
campingboatersthanks for the recipe... A woman on my sons baseball team made these... they are so good.... but you need to have a big glass of cold milk to go with them[:)]
campingboatersThey are very good! :) I love it with butterscotch and the next one I want to try is the peanut butter chips with it.
