Saltine Chocolate Crunch
1 sleeve (about 24) Saltines
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
12 oz. (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a 10 X 15-inch cookie sheet with foil. Spray very lightly with cooking spray.
Cover cookie sheet with saltines, one layer. Boil sugar and butter for 3 minutes. Pour over saltines and spread evenly. Bake at 400º F. for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let set 1 minute, then spread melted chips with spatula. Sprinkle nuts over and press down lightly. Cut on diagonal immediately or cool until firm, then break up, pieces can be frozen.
Yield 30 pieces.
Notes: These are addicting, but I like the milk chocolate pieces instead of the semi-sweet. I also check my sugar/butter syrup till it's to the soft ball stage.
