2 packages of saltine crackers 1/2 pound butter (1 cup) 1 cup brown sugar 12 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips (1 1/2 cups) 1 cup sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with tinfoil, leaving a couple of inches of tin foil hanging over the edge on both sides Line the cookie sheet with saltine crackers, side by side, SALT SIDE UP.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then add the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and starts to bubble and foam, about 2 min.
Pour the butter/sugar mixture over the saltines carefully and evenly. Spread over crackers carefully using a plastic spatula to even out. Bake in oven for 4 minutes. Remove from oven (carefully) , because the crackers may be popping up and down. If they are popping up and down pat them down gently using the spatula.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the crackers evenly and place in oven for about 2 minutes, just so the chocolate softens. Spread the chocolate evenly across the crackers using the plastic spatula and then crumble the almonds over top.
Allow to cool at least an hour in the fridge (while still in the baking sheet). Then lift the foil out of the baking sheet carefully and break the mixture into large bark pieces.
Enjoy!!!
