Brickle Crunch

Folks are always impressed when we serve homemade candy 'cause they think it's so hard to make. (But we know the truth!)

Serves: 25

Chilling Time: 30 min

Cooking Time: 10 min

Ingredients

• 35 saltine crackers (about 1 sleeve from a 16-ounce box)
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup (1 six-ounce package) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    
2. Line a 10- x 15- inch cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Lay out crackers on cookie sheet, packing tightly.
    
3. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter, then add sugar and boil, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, until sugar is completely dissolved. Immediately pour mixture over crackers and bake 7 minutes.
    
4. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate and peanut butter morsels over crackers, spreading evenly as they melt.
    
5. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then break into pieces. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

This is great topped with chopped nuts or flaked coconut; just sprinkle either on top before refrigerating. It's best not to substitute margarine for butter in this recipe.
