Recipe: Crunch Bars

I don't usually make desserts. What is the point when you can just buy them? Still, I tried this one because it made me curious. Crackers and chocolate? Really? Prove it.

Seeing as how I ate 6 all by myself in as many hours today, I guess I'd have to admit they have proven themselves. I admit it - They are delicious and addictive. And they give you a serious got milk? attack.

Crunch Bars (taken from Kraft Food and Family magazine)
  • Saltine crackers (I used club crackers)
  • 1 stick of butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 pkg. (8 squares) Baker's Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (I used Nestle semi-sweet morsels)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (I used almonds)
  1. Heat oven to 400.
  2. Place crackers in single layer in foil lined 15x10x1-inch pan.
  3. Cook butter and sugar in saucepan on med-high heat until butter is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally. Bring to boil; cook 3 min. without stirring. Spread onto crackers.
  4. Bake 5-7 min. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate; let stand 5 min. or until chocolate is softened. Spread chocolate over crackers in pan; sprinkle with nuts. Cool. Break into pieces.
