Chocolate Treats (Jessie’s)

By: Marie DePadova • In: Desserts and Baking • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 42 Saltine Crackers
  • 4 oz Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 12 oz. Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Walnuts (chopped, or any other type of nut)

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2:

Arrange saltines in a single layer in the bottom of a 19 x 14 rimmed cookie sheet (approx.) lined with aluminum foil.

Step 3:

In a sauce pan, combine butter and brown sugar over low/medium heat and boil gently for 3 min. I do about 5 min. so it’s easier to crack.

Step 4:

Immediately pour over the crackers, covering all (and rearranging – careful, hot! – the crackers if they move while you are pouring).

Step 5:

Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes (WATCH FOR BURNING).

Step 6:

Take out of oven and sprinkle chips over surface right away.

Step 7:

Let stand for 3 minutes or so until the chips soften, and then spread them with a spatula.

Step 8:

Add chopped nuts and press lightly.

Step 9:

Set aside in refrigerator (or freezer) to harden.

Step 10:

Break into irregularly shaped pieces (or drive yourself crazy trying to cut these babies into rectangles). Store in refrigerator and serve cold.
