toffee chocolate things with saltine crackers

[megs4413]

i thought this was already posted, but i can't seem to find it. i'm looking for the recipe for the saltine toffee/chocolate things....i don't even know what they're called...holiday bark maybe? i can't remember...anyway i'm craving it and must have some ASAP. TIA!

2 cups real butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 pkg choco chips (milk choco are best)
graham crackers or saltine crackers (trust me)

Line a pan with foil (a pan with edges ie jelly roll pan, only larger) Spray or butter the foil lightly; line the foil with crackers so they touch.

Mix butter in sugar in a heavy pan and bring to a liquid state.
Boil gently for 4 min, while stirring. It should carmelize but not burn.

Pour this over the crackers and bake for 5 min at 400 degrees. It will be bubbly.

Remove from heat and pour a bag of choco chips over it evenly, then spread with a spatula and put back in the oven for about 30 seconds to melt.

Optional: sprinkle the top with Heath Bits or pecans.

Cool it for 24 hours in fridge and break into pieces.

>5. Bake for 15 mins

Is this a typo? I did this and it was totally burned from top to bottom... nothing but char! I see the other recipe says 5 minutes. Good thing for all that butter... not a thing stuck to my pan!

I was really looking forward to trying this - it sounds sooo good! Nothing with 2 sticks of butter can be bad! :)

Oh no! I checked the original recipe and it does say 15mins. Straight outta People magazine, so it must be right, lol!

Maybe try again baking for 10mins, averaging both times?

Sorry it didn't work out. You are probably better off... :-) (Now I am thinking about this stuff and might have to make some more. In secret. Just for me. DH and DDs don't have to know. Does that mean I have a problem???)
