A friend recently sent me this recipe. DO NOT let the crackers throw you off – It’s so yummy!

It’s easy, delicious and makes a great and inexpensive holiday gift so I thought I’d share.

You’ll need:

1 sleeve of saltine crackers
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 pkg. of semi-sweet chocolate (I used BAKER’S and chopped it into smaller pieces)
1 cup of chopped peanuts

HEAT oven to 375ºF.

LINE a cookie sheet with foil and lay out crackers in a single layer.

COOK butter and brown sugar in small pan on medium-high heat stirring occasionally. Bring to boil; cook 3 minutes stirring constantly.

POUR over crackers and spread evenly. BAKE 8-10 minutes.

REMOVE from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate; let stand until chocolate is softened. Spread chocolate evenly over crackers.

Sprinkle with nuts. Cool. Break into pieces.

ENJOY :)

If you have a favorite holiday recipe … please share!

This was the lunch Sam took to school with him today. Tuna sandwich on whole wheat (they both love tuna), Juice (with veggie), frozen Yogurt tube (probably has a bunch of sugar added, don’t tell me I am happy not knowing for sure), cheese, cucumber & carrots, granola bar (kind with the health check).
