Cracker Candy

So I was fumbling through the internet. Mindlessly wondering from site to site looking for nothing in particular when I stumbled across a recipe for cracker candy. Now, I had seen this recipe made before and given out at cookie exchanges. I loved it then and thought, hot damn!! I found the recipe! Plus this one had chocolate added to it. How can you go wrong with chocolate on anything?!?! Well...unfortunately my husband didn't like the chocolate idea and wanted me to make him some with just the basic recipe, so that's what I did. Then I made my version with chocolate, and it was soooo yummy y'all! So here is an easy recipe for cracker candy, crack candy, toffee cracker candy, it has a dozen different names but you'll be calling it one simple thing......"good".

What you're gonna need:

Preheat oven to 350*

2 sticks of butter (not margarine, margarine will not taste the same)

1/4 cup white sugar

saltine crackers 35 to 40 (you can use butter crackers as well)

12 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips (optional)

First, you will need to arrange your crackers so that they cover the bottom of a baking sheet. You will want to spray your baking sheet with cooking spray, just so the final product doesn't stick.

Add your two sticks of butter and sugar to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Trust me, stir constantly or you'll have a burnt mess! The mixture will thicken as it cooks.

Once you've got your mixture boiling, remove from the heat and and pour over your crackers. The mixture will not completely cover all of the crackers, so you will have to use a brush or spoon to spread it around.

Now that you have your crackers completely covered, its time to put them in your preheated 350* oven for 5 minutes or until they are just turning a golden brown color. You don't want them to be too brown, so keep an eye on them.

As you can see in my last picture, they got a little brown. Someone, who shall remain nameless....LILY, distracted me. This is where, if you'd like, you can add the chocolate chips (When you take the crackers out of the oven, simply pour the bag of chocolate chips over the crackers. They will melt from the heat and you will be able to spread them.) Once they have cooled you can break them up and enjoy!
