Grandma's Saltine Cracker Cookies

Saltine Crackers
1 cup of butter
1 cup of brown sugar
12oz package of chocolate chips
1 cup of nuts


Line an 11" by 17" cookie sheet with foil, and oil the foil.
Place approximately 45 Saltine crackes on the foil, lined up. (fill any spaces with cracker pieces)

Bring to rolling boil: 1 cup of butter (not margarine) and 1 cup of brown sugar
Boil for 3 mintues then pour onto crackers and bake in oven at 350 for about 5 minutes.

Remove from oven. Crackers may have risen, if so, press down and then sprinkle over top - chocolate chips, spreading evenly as it melts. Sprinkle on top walnuts or pecan. Cool and break into pieces.

For half the recipe, I used 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar and a small baking pan.

The combination of butter and brown sugar carmelizes as it boils. 

After the quick boil, I poured mixture over the crackers and baked from a toaster convection oven.

As soon as the crackers are removed from oven, spread over the chocolate chips and sprinkle the nuts. This will need to sit for a bit to cool down and for the chocolate to harden. 

I prefer freezing mine to get a head start. 

If you love the combination of salt and chocolate, you will love LOVE these cookies!
