Chocolate Saltine Cracker Delight

Tommy made this recipe a long time ago and I fell in love with them. They are sweet, chocolaty and salty, all at the same time. You break them into chunks. They remind me of Almond Roca candy, simply delicious!!

Chocolate Saltine Cracker Delight

40 or so Saltine Crackers
1 cup butter (do not substitute)
1 cup brown sugar
1 -12 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Optional Topping: Approx. 1/4 cup shelled walnuts or pecans, chopped ultra fine

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Line a jellyroll pan (aluminum pan with shallow sides) with aluminum foil. Arrange saltine crackers on foil. Make sure crackers are flat, and pan is full.

Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and boil for 3 minutes. Pour over crackers, spread with spoon to coat evenly. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, pour chocolate chips over and let stand 5 minutes to melt. Spread around with a knife or spoon, then cover with bits of chopped nuts or some kind of brickle if you so desire.

Place in refrigerator or freezer until hard. Break into bite-size or cracker-size pieces.

You may also substitute white chocolate pieces or whatever you like instead of the semi-sweet chocolate. This makes a delectable gift or treat.
