Here is a simple sweet treat to take to your next picnic or potluck. It has 4 ingredients and takes about 15 minutes to put together. You can’t get much easier than that. AND, it’s not the normal, everyday dessert that people bring, so you know that when you are taking this to a party, there won’t be 3 other people bringing the same thing.
My grandmother used to make this when I was younger. She would top it with chopped nuts, but I usually stay away from that since there are so many people with nut allergies. You can get creative with the toppings or simply leave it plain with just the chocolate on top. Add some mini m&m’s, colored sprinkles, chopped nuts, or drizzles of caramel if you’d like.
Ingredients
- 2 sleeves of Saltine Crackers (approx. 80 crackers)
- 1 c butter
- 1 c brown sugar
- 2 c semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Line a large cookie sheet with foil and spray with a cooking spray.
- Line the saltine crackers on the cooking sheet.
- Add the brown sugar and butter to a saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to come to a boil for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the mixture over the crackers and spread using a spatula to make sure that all of the crackers are covered.
- Place the pan in the oven and allow to bake for 5 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Place back in the oven for 1 minute or until the chocolate chips begin to melt enough to spread easily.
- If you would like to add toppings, do that before the chocolate hardens.
- Allow to cool completely (I like to place mine in the refrigerator after it has cooled so it's easier to cut) and cut or break into pieces.
