Holiday Crack

This is called Christmas crack for a reason. It is sooooo addictive. Plus it blends the Sweet, Salty and Caramel to make a special delicious holiday treat that can be stored for weeks.

Saltine Crackers
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Butter
1 package chocolate chips (Ghiradelli 60%dark bittersweet)
3/4 cups chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

1) Line a baking tray (10 X 15 -- the kind that is raised) with foil
2) Spray with pam
3) Cover with a single layer of saltines
4) Bring butter and sugar to boil to make the toffee. Boil for 3 minutes stirring with whisk. Pour over the saltines and try to spread evenly as possible.
5) Place in oven and bake for 5 minutes.  When you remove the caramel mixture will be boiling and molten. Cool for 3 minutes or until you see the crackers distinctly as they would have shifted while baking. Push them back into order gently with a fork or knife.
6) Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the toffee and let it sit for 5 minutes to melt. Spread chocolate evenly with spatula.  Now sprinkle pecans and press into chocolate.  Let it cool overnight and then transfer to fridge to harden. Once hard you can break into small pieces carefully by cutting with a sharp knife (bread knife with serrations works well).
