chocolate brittle surprise.







i'm sharing a family favorite recipe that we typically make around the holidays.  i'm sure when people hear that the recipe uses saltines they are a little suspicious.. until they taste it.  so yummy and so easy.

ingredients:

35 unsalted soda crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup nuts (optional... we like chopped almonds)

directions:

1. preheat oven to 350* F.  cover cookie sheet with foil.  spray foil with cooking oil spray.

2. place crackers on foil in 5 x 7 rows.

3. microwave butter on high for 2 minutes.  add brown sugar and stir.  microwave on high for 2 more minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.

4. pour over crackers.  bake 17-20 minutes (should bubble but not burn).

5. sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crackers.  spread after 2 minutes (chips have softened).  sprinkle nuts on top.

6. refrigerate 1 hour.  break into pieces.  can be frozen.
