For our engagement party, the hostess made these as a little post-dinner treat and I have never forgotten them. They are amazing! When I found this recipe in Southern Living last Fall, I saved it as one of my faves. I've been craving these regularly, but have to really force myself not to eat the whole container. So good!!!! Does anyone have a better name for these?
Serves 20. (or just me cause they're so addictive!)
40 saltine crackers
1 stick butter
1 cup light brown sugar
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large jellyroll pan with parchment paper and the saltine crackers.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly. Put the jellyroll pan into the oven and watch closely. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes, or until just bubbly.
Remove from the oven and pour the chocolate chips over the crackers. When the chips melt a bit, spread them over the crackers with a knife.
Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until completely cold. They will form one big sheet. Break up into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
Note: Substitute graham crackers for the saltines for a sweeter snack. Or pretzels.
