I discovered an easy and addicting new snack recipe this
weekend, while thumbing through a magazine featuring country singer
Trisha Yearwood. She was sharing favorite
family recipes from her cookbook.
Since I did not bring the recipe home with me, I was going from
memory, so this is my version of the recipe. I'll do some homework
and try to find the correct directions. Please forgive me if I
forgot something, but they turned out entirely too good just like
this.
Sweet and salty snacks
40 saltine crackers
1 stick of butter (half cup)
1 cup brown sugar
8 oz. chocolate chips
Directions:
Spread saltines on a cookie sheet. Melt butter and brown sugar
in saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
Drizzle over crackers and place in the oven at 350 degrees for 5
minutes, until bubbly. Remove from oven. Sprinke chocolate chips
over hot mixture and spread as they melt. Cool and break into
pieces.
I made the mistake of placing the pan back into the over to melt
the chocolate, so it cooked a bit more. Don't do that. Just let the
heat from the mapley goo melt the chocolate so you have a nice top
layer. It didn't matter though, we devoured them in a matter of
minutes and the kids loved them.
Oh, I should know better but I couldn't resist, and it is so
addicting! The cool part is that it only takes four inexpensive
ingredients that are almost guaranteed to be in your kitchen when
that need for sweet and salty attacks.
