Homemade Cracker Candy: An Easy Sweet Treat

When you need an easy sweet treat for home use, or a hostess gift, or to take to a pot luck, look no further.  This chocolatey, nutty brickle, is just the thing.  Here's the simple recipe.  The only thing that takes any time is cooling it before breaking it up!

                                   Homemade Cracker Candy

40 saltines (one sleeve)
1 c. butter
1 c. + 2 T. firmly packed brown sugar (I like light brown sugar)
 1 bag chocolate chips
chopped nuts (your choice)

Spread saltines side by side on a cookie sheet, filling the entire sheet.  Boil butter and brown sugar for five minutes, then spread on top of the saltines.  Melt the bag of chocolate chips and spread on top of the butter and brown sugar mix.  Then sprinkle with nuts, pushing them into the chocolate a little.  Place tray in freezer and cool until mixture is hard.  Break into pieces like brittle, then store in an air tight container.  This won't last long, it's so delicious.
