Saltine Scores

1 ½ packages of salted saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease cookie sheet and line with saltine crackers in a single layer.
In a saucepan, combine brown sugar and butter. Bring to a boil and stir constantly for 3 minutes. Immediately pour over saltine crackers and spread to cover crackers completely.Bake for 5 – 6 minutes or until the entire pan bubbles. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let sit for 5 minutes then spread the melted chocolate chips over the top. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and let cool. Crack and break into pieces.

Recipe given by my friend Casey.

NOTE: These are tasty little treats and are great for party platters.

This is an alternate recipe given to me by Diane. I like the aluminum foil idea...haven't tried that yet....
1 cup butter 40 saltine crackers
1 cup light brown sugar 1 cup chopped pecans
1 (11 oz.) pkg. Nestle milk chocolate chips
Line jelly roll pan (or large cookie sheet) with aluminum foil
and spray with Pam. Lay the saltines flat on the foil. Melt
sugar and butter together; heat until "foamy". Pour mixture
over the crackers evenly. Put in oven and bake at 350 for 10
minutes. While still hot, sprinkle choc. chips over crackers.
When softened, spread to coat crackers. Sprinkle pecans
on top. Let cool, then refrigerate until hard. Crack up and
store in a cool place in airtight container.
