Christmas is almost near and a lot of people are having guests over or enjoying parties with family friends and co-workers.  With all the other things we need to get done for the holiday baking is often last on the list.  If you find yourself needing something for a party and don’t have too much time or if your not too into baking, this Cracker candy is a great alternative.  I have to say it is so addictive, give as much away as possible or you may find yourself wanting to eat the whole tray.  Enjoy!!

Sweet and Salty Cracker Candy

• 1 sleeve saltine crackers
• 2 sticks (1 cup) butter
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 12-ounce bag of milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Line a  cookie sheet with foil. Spray generously with cooking spray.
3. Place the crackers on cookie sheet, place them in neat rows.
4. In a medium saucepan over medium-high, melt butter and brown sugar together and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes
5. Remove from heat and pour caramel mixture over the cracker layer.
6. Spread with a heat resistant spatula to cover all crackers completely.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, or until just bubbly.
8. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the crackers. When chips start to melt, spread them over crackers, I use a slanted metal icing spatula.
9. Let chocolate harden, break into pieces.
10. Enjoy!!
