Brittle Bark

By MarieR

Ingredients

• One sleeve saltine crackers (or as needed to cover single-layer in cookie sheet)
• 2 sticks of butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 12oz bag of chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice)

Preparation

Step 1

Place foil on a large baking sheet that has a lip around it. (Ensure that foil covers the entire cookie sheet.)
Spread crackers salt-side-up on the foil in a single layer. Melt butter and and sugar together in microwave - pour evenly over crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Spread chocolate chips over crackers and let sit for a moment to get soft. (If they don't melt well, put back in the oven for a minute.) Spread chocolate chips evenly over crackers with spatula. Sprinkle nuts over chocolate, pressing gently to ensure they adhere. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Peel Brittle Bark off of foil and break into pieces.
