Just a Little Christmas Crack

A highly addicting chocolaty, sweet and salty treat! This is my go to dessert when I am short on time and need something that will please a crowd!

Serves: 3 dozen

INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter, no substitutes
1 cup of brown sugar
2 sleeves of saltine crackers
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Sprinkles, chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
3. Line foil with saltine crackers, touching salt side up. You probably won’t need quite two sleeves of crackers.
4. Over medium heat, while constantly stirring, bring butter and sugar to a gentle boil. Once boiling, remove spoon and boil for exactly 3 minutes. You want the heat to be as low as possible while maintaining a boil.
5. Pour over saltine crackers. Spread with the back of a spoon if necessary.
6. Bake for 5 minutes.
7. Immediately after removing them from the oven, sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let sit for a few minutes. Spread with the back of a spoon.
8. Decorate with sprinkles, chopped nuts or colored dipping chocolates.
