Cracker Candy

What you need:

Package of club crackers (aprox 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers)

3/4 cups brown sugar

1 and 1/2 cubes butter/margarine

1 package( or aprox 2 cups) milk chocolate chips

3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1/4 to 1/2 cup heath toffee bits or chopped up white choc bits (or both)

Cooking spray

parchment paper

What to do:

1. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray, line with parchment paper and spray paper with cooking spray.

2. Preheat oven to 350 and lay crackers on parchment paper so its completely covered with crackers

3. Melt butter and add brown sugar, cook on low to medium heat, until boiling.  

Then stir constantly for 3 minutes and remove from heat.

***Be sure not to over cook, its important to only heat at a boil for 3 minutes.

4.  Pour butter and sugar mixture over the crackers, then spread mixture completely over crackers.

5.  Bake at 350 for 5 minutes.

6.  Turn off oven, remove cookie sheet and cover crackers/brown sugar mixture with chocolate chips.

7.  Put cookie sheet back in the oven (that has been turned off) for 3 to 4 minutes.

8.  When chocolate chips are warm and melted spread over crackers, then top with chopped nuts and heath bits or white chocolate bits or what ever sounds good to you.

9.  Once all the toppings are on crackers, I spray the back of a spatula with cooking spray and use it to gently pat down the toppings into the melted chocolate.

10.  Now place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.  When its completely cooled and hardened, break into bits and your cracker candy is ready to eat!

I discovered this last year after going to a Christmas party where it was served.  I started looking for ways

to make my own and this recipe is what I came up with.  It can also be done with Ritz crackers as well, just break them into pieces and scatter on cookie sheet, then follow all the steps as directed above.

This stuff is really good.  It's easy to make, great to share with friends, neighbors or to enjoy at a gathering.
