Lisas Brickle

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 sleeves saltine crackers
• 4 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped nuts such as pistachios

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F.   Line a cookie sheet, preferably one with sides, with aluminum foil. Spread crackers side by side, one layer thick. If you do not have a cookie sheet with sides, build a little ridge with the tin foil so the sauce does't run off the sides.

Combine sugar and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.  Let boil until sugar dissolves, a few minutes max.  Pour hot sugar and butter mixture over crackers. Spread to cover evenly. Bake at 400°F for five minutes.  Take out of the oven and let them cool.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave proof dish.  Spread chocolate mix evenly over the top of the brickle cracker layer. Sprinkle with nuts and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour. Break into pieces and store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
