I have many cracker boxes from my local food pantry. One day, perusing the Internet for recipes I came across this favorite and adapted it to my family’s liking. These bars are rich and crispy if made correctly. Just like biting into a candy bar! I keep these in the freezer for easy nibbles when someone needs a quick, sweet snack.
Quick and easy to make, these will become a recipe to share. They even make great gifts during the holidays!
On medium/ low stove top heat melt:
3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
Allow to boil 5 min. to thicken. Then add:
1 tsp. vanilla
In a 13 x 9 inch pan place on hand crackers (any type) in a single layer. Pour brown sugar mixture over evenly and spread if needed so each cracker is touched. Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown and crispy. About 10 min.
Immediately take out of oven and sprinkle on:
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips
Let stand 5 mins. to soften chocolate. Then spread chocolate evenly over crackers.
Sprinkle with nuts if desired. Cool in refrigerator and break into serving size pieces.
