newlifemom Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The one I used calls for a mix of choc and peanut butter chips. I also use the rapid release foil for this. Keep it handy and don't let anyone use that expensive stuff for anything else.

Did you even give a second thought when you posted this that you were making me LIE to my innocent children!?!? Cool actually that this was posted.

abbeyej Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This stuff is just *evil*. I flat out refuse to make it, because once it's available, I have *zero* self-control. Just none. Sometimes students give it to me around Christmas, and I have to find someone else to eat it *immediately*, 'cause if I take a bite, I will eat then entire bag at one go. Really, lol, I find this stuff more addictive than almost anything else... Salt! Sugar! Fat! Chocolate! It's almost a perfect food... And apparently I don't care at all how bad it makes me feel, lol... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodnight. :lol::lol: I always make mine with Town House crackers, and I like it better with those than with saltines...I think it's because there's more fat in them. Because with a recipe like this you really need to work hard to get enough fat into it. ;) And now I hear they can be made with graham crackers...more evil information! Because the only non-graham crackers I have in the house have sesame seeds and flax and stuff...but we have graham crackers...hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbhoward Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I thought my recipe used brown sugar? it's a good thing i feel like garbage.... or i'd be making them.... My recipe calls for brown sugar and we call it Christmas Crack. 1 box saltine crackers, you won't need the whole box 1-2 cup butter 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips 1 cup finely chopped pecans Heat oven to 350F degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Arrange crackers snugly in a single layer, filling the sheet completely, about 40 crackers. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the brown sugar and mix well. Pour the butter mixture evenly over crackers, spreading as necessary. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until the butter is bubbly. Remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the crackers. When the chips have softened, spread them over the crackers with a knife. Sprinkle immediatly with the nuts. Let the cookies cool before breaking apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathleen in VA Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I tried the original recipe and had difficulty spreading the chocolate chips. Frankly, I made a big mess. It tastes pretty good - but, it looks a bit unappetizing. Is it possible to melt the chocolate in the sugar mixture while it is still in the pan and then pour it all over the crackers? Has anyone tried that? I hate to try it and have it fail since the ingredients are a bit pricey for me. (butter, chocolate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn E Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 ahem...well, I didn't have chocolate chips, so I drizzled a little chocolate syrup on them after I took them out of the oven. It was a little more messy, but we were just making them to be devoured. Does it count that it was the vitamin fortified chocolate syrup with calcium?

Has anyone tried that? I hate to try it and have it fail since the ingredients are a bit pricey for me. (butter, chocolate). What I do is sprinkle the chocolate chips on and then put the pan back in the oven for just a minute or two. Once the choc chips are softened up they can be spread with a spatula pretty easily. My recipe calls for brown sugar, FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamnkats Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 My son made this (purposely did NOT look at any recipe linked here) for Halloween and we handed it out. We used PB and other stuff. It is definitely crack! :) Good thing we can't get chocolate chips down here. We can get Lunetas (like M&Ms) and NO! STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER! This is INSANITY! You people should be ashamed of yourselves. I am SO disappointed in you. (but it is cooooollllldddd (75F) and we neeeed sweeeeets to warm us uuuuuuppppp....)

Erica in PA Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Saltine Toffee is one of my favorite recipes ever! I got it off these boards from Jill in OK a couple of years ago. How many truly delicious recipes have only *four* ingredients?? And they are fairly inexpensive kitchen staples at that: butter, sugar, chocolate chips, and saltines. I think it's amazing that something so extremely delectable can be made in minutes from just those four things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXMomof4 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I use club crackers in place of the graham crackers in this because I like the salty/sweet. But this is my favorite. We call them coffee crackers at my house because then they are acceptable for breakfast. Right? 20 to 24 club crackers 1 cup butter 1 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 cup chopped pecans Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with graham crackers. Bring butter and sugar to rolling boil; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat. When bubbling subsides, add chopped pecans. Spoon over crackers. Bake crackers for 10 minutes. Cool slightly; cut crackers into 1-inch squares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 OK, this thread has to stop popping up in my User CP, because once again, the only crackers I have in the house are whole wheat with all kinds of seasonings and seeds, and that just does not seem like it will work in this recipe. So will you people please quit torturing me already? :toetap05: (Though, now I'm contemplating making these for our holiday cookie swap in December. Interesting!!!)

Jenny in Atl Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 A friend of mine used to make this with Matzo crackers (called it Matzo bark). She would get the discounted crackers on sale after Passover and save them till Christmas. She felt the stale ones absorbed more of the butter. I don't know, but I can tell you they were very good. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
