My daughter found this in a magazine and tried it. It's one of the easiest to make and most delightful sweet & salty snacks we have discovered. No one ever gueses there are saltines under there! But everyone wants more and wants the recipe.

Ingredients For sweet n' saltines

  • 40
    saltine crackers
  • 2 stick
    butter
  • 1 c
    light brown sugar
  • 8 oz
    semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1 1/3 cups)
  • 1/2 c
    finely chopped nuts (optional)

How To Make sweet n' saltines

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line large jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and then saltine crackers.
  • 2
    In medium saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over the crackers, covering them evenly. Put the pan of crackers in the oven and bake 4-5 minutes or until just bubbly. Watch closely.
  • 3
    Remove from oven and sprinke chocolate chips over caramel. When the chips melt a bit, spread them evenly over the cracker/caramel mixture with a knife. If you choose to use finely chopped nuts, sprinkle them on top of the chocolate. We have even used finely chopped Skor candy bars.
  • 4
    Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15-20 minutes or until completely cold. They will form one big sheet. Break up into pieces or shards and store in air tight container!

    You can substitute graham crackers for a sweeter snack. We have not tried this. For a crunchier snack you can reduce the butter to one stick instead of two. This recipe came from Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood in the Nov. 2010 Issue of People Country.
