Easy enough
that kids can help!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a full
cookie sheet with soda crackers, with salt side down.
Completely
fill in the cookie sheet, breaking crackers to fit if needed.
Melt together
in a sauce pan:
2 sticks
of butter
2 cups packed
brown sugar
Pour
mixture over the crackers until all are coated evenly.
Bake 10
minutes and cool.
Melt 12 oz.
of chocolate chips in microwave or sauce pan over low heat.
Spread over
mixture.
Sprinkle with
1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional - walnuts, pecans, almonds work well)
Cool bars in
refrigerator.
Cut into bars
or break like brittle.
Freeze or refrigerate to store if you make them
ahead of time.
Makes 4-5 dozen, depending on the size.
Note:
To make less, use a 9 x 12 pan and cut the recipe in half,
but use about almost the same amount of chocolate chips.
