Carrie’s Sweet Life

It was my week to bring lunch again to work, I had NO clue what I was going to make as our house was bare. I decided to go with simple egg salad sandwiches, but wanted a yummy and different treat. I found these sweet treats on Our Sweet Life and decided they were simple enough to throw together.

All the girls at work raved about them, I thought they were very good, but I might try Ritz’s crackers next time as the saltines seemed a little too salty for me.

Nicole’s Famous CRACKers (From: Our Sweet Life)

• 1 stick of butter
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• a package of saltine crackers
• chocolate chips (I used 1/2 bag mini-chocolate chips)
• any nuts chopped or crushed

Preheat the oven to 400. Get a cookie sheet out, cover with foil and lay crackers out all over the cookie sheet. Take the stick of butter and brown sugar and melt together in a small pot over medium heat don’t stir until it is all melted!!, now wait for the sugar/butter to caramelize (you will notice big bubbles)- once that happens, remove the pan from the heat and use a spoon to drizzle the caramelly goodness all over the crackers. Then sprinkle the crushed nuts on top.

Bake for 5-7 minutes. Take the crackers out and IMMEDIATELY sprinkle the chocolate chips over them, then transfer off the cookie sheet to cool before the chocolate chips re-harden.
